Question

Assertion: If HX is a weak acid, $X^{-}$ particles will also be present in its dilute solution apart from those of water.

Reason: Weak acids dissociate partially.

• A. Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
  
• B. Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
• C. Assertion is true but Reason is false
• D. Assertion is false but Reason is true
• E. Both Assertion and Reason are false

Answer 1

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion

If HX is a weak acid, it will dissociates as
$HX\to H^{+}+X^{-}$
so apart from water ions, $X^{-}$ present in solution.
