Solution

The correct option is D Assertion is not correct but Reason is correct
For a aqueous solution of salt of weak acid and strong base.
$p H = 7 + 0.5 p K_{a} + 0.5 l o g C$
Hence, pH will always greater than 7 and the solution will be basic.
$C F_{3} C O O H$ is stronger acid than $C H_{3} C O O H$ . $C F_{3} C O O H$ has higher $K_{a}$ value and lower $p K_{a}$ value than $C H_{3} C O O H$ .
Hence, the aqueous solution of $C F_{3} C O O^{-} N a^{+}$ is less basic than the aqueous solution of $C H_{3} C O O N a^{+}$ for same concentration of salt.
