BaCO3 + 2HNO3 arrow Ba(NO3 ) 2 + H2O + CO2

Q. Assertion : $B a C O_{3}$ is more soluble in $H N O_{3}$ than in plain water.
Reason : Carbonate is a weak base and reacts with the $H^{+}$ from the strong acid, causing the barium salt to dissociate.

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

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

If assertion is true but reason is false

If both assertion and reason are false

$B a C O_{3} + 2 H N O_{3} \to B a (N O_{3})_{2} + H_{2} O + C O_{2}$
