Question

$I$. Precipitates form when insoluble ionic compounds are formed in a chemical reaction occuring in an aqueous environment.
$II$. Insoluble compounds have bonds which are too strong to be pulled apart by the dissolving properties of water.

• A. Statement $I$ is true, Statement $II$ is true and is a correct explanation of the phenomena described in $I$
• B. Statement $I$ is true, Statement $II$ is false
• C. Statement $I$ is false, Statement $II$ is true
• D. Statement $I$ is false, Statement $II$ is false

Answer 1

The correct option is A Statement $I$ is true, Statement $II$ is true and is a correct explanation of the phenomena described in $I$

• In a chemical reaction occurring in aqueous medium forms precipitate due to an insolvable ionic compound.
• Insolvable compounds have high lattice energy than hydration energy.
• Statements I and II are correct and II is correct explanation of I.
