Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion AgCN(s)⇌Ag⊕+CN⊝ CN⊝+H⊕⟶HCN As CN⊝ ions are consumed by H⊕ ions to form HCN, more AgCN is dissolved.
Hence, both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation for assertion.
