Assertion: The solubility of $C H_{3} C O O A g$ in water considering hydrolysis of $C H_{3} C O O^{-}$ ions would be greater than that ignoring the hydrolysis.
Reason: During hydrolysis, the concentration of acetate ions decrease as they combine with hydrogen ions to form acetic acid.

Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
When the hydrolysis of acetate ions is considered, the concentration of acetate ions decrease as they combine with hydrogen ions to form weak acid acetic acid.
To nullify this effect, the solubility of silver acetate increases.
Thus, the solubility of $C H_{3} C O O A g$ in water considering hydrolysis of $C H_{3} C O O^{-}$ ions would be greater than that ignoring the hydrolysis.
