Statement 1: When small amount of acid or base is added to pure water, its pH undergoes a change Statement 2: Addition of an acid or a base increases the degree of ionization of water (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

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

(A) is correct (R) is wrong Correct (R): Addition of acid or base increase the [ H ⊕] or [ overset ominus O H ] and thus pH changes

Q. Statement 1 : When small amount of acid or base is added to pure water, its $p H$ undergoes a change
Statement 2 : Addition of an acid or a base increases the degree of ionization of water

Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True; Statement 2 is correct explanation for Statement 1

Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True; Statement 2 is not correct explanation for Statement 1

Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is False

Statement 1 is False, Statement 2 is True

(A) is correct
(R) is wrong
Correct (R): Addition of acid or base increase the $[H^{\oplus}]$ or $[O ⊖ H]$ and thus $p H$ changes
