Assertion (A): HCl can be tested by AgNO3 solution.
Reason (R): White precipitate of AgCl is formed when AgNO3 is added to HCl.
- Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
- Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
- A is true but R is false.
- A is false but R is true.
Answer
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation— HCl can be tested by AgNO3 solution. When, HCl gas is passed through Silver nitrate solution white precipitate of AgCl is formed.
AgNO3(aq) + HCl ⟶ AgCl↓ + HNO3
Hence, both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A).
