Question

Assertion: AgCl is more soluble in NH3 than in water. Reason: Ammonia is more polar than water. (A) If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion (B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion (C) If assertion is true but reason is false (D) If both assertion and reason are false

Solubility of AgCl (at 25°C) in H2O = 0.0020 g AgCl per litre of H2O Solubility of AgCl in NH3 (at 25°C) = 14.00 g AgCl dissolved per kg of NH3 Ammonia is less polar than water, as oxygen is more electronegative than nitrogen.

Q. Assertion: $A g Cl$ is more soluble in $N H_{3}$ than in water.
Reason: Ammonia is more polar than water.

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

If assertion is true but reason is false

If both assertion and reason are false

Solubility of $A g Cl$ (at $2 5^{\circ} C)$ in $H_{2} O$

$= 0.0020 g A g Cl$ per litre of $H_{2} O$

Solubility of $A g Cl$ in $N H_{3}$ (at $2 5^{\circ} C)$

$= 14.00 g A g Cl$ dissolved per kg of $N H_{3}$

Ammonia is less polar than water, as oxygen is more electronegative than nitrogen.
