Question

Assertion:

The reaction of $HCl\left(aq\right)$ and $KOH\left(aq\right)$ goes to completion.

Reason:

It is a neutralization reaction between a strong acid and a strong base.

• 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. The assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
• D. The assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct
• E. Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion

HCl reacts with KOH to form salt KCl and water.

$HCl+KOH\to KCl+H_{2}O$

The net ionic equation for the above neutralisation reaction can be written as,
$H^{+}+O{H}^{-}\to H_{2}O$

Thus, Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion

Hence, the correct option is $\text{A}$
