Question

Statement 1 : $pH$ of $HCl$ solution is less than that of acetic acid of the some concentration
Statement 2 : In equimolar solution, the number of titrable protons present in $HCl$ is less than that present in acetic acid

• A. Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True; Statement 2 is correct explanation for Statement 1
• B. Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True; Statement 2 is not correct explanation for Statement 1
• C. Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is False
• D. Statement 1 is False, Statement 2 is True
