Question

Assertion :On dissolving $NaCl$ in water we get $N{a}^{+}(aq.)$ and $C{l}^{-}(aq.)$ in the solution but $HCl$ gives $H_3{O}^{+}$ and $C{l}^{-}$ ions. Reason: $NaCl$ is ionic and $HCl$ is covalent

• A. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
• B. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
• C. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
• D. Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect

Answer 1

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

$NaCl+H_{2}O\rightleftarrows {Na}^{+}(aq.)+{Cl}^{-}(aq.)$

$HCl+H_{2}O\rightleftarrows H_3{O}^{+}+{Cl}^{-}$

There is difference because $NaCl$ is ionic and $HCl$ is covalent.
