Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
[Al(H2O)6]3+ is smaller and has higher effect nuclear charge compared to [Mg(H2O)6]2+. Hence the (OH) ion is more readily attracted towards [Al(H2O)6]3+. Thus it is a more stronger acid as it accepts (OH) more readily. Hence answer is option A.
