Assertion: Equivalent weight of a base
= Molecular weight/Acidity
Reason: Acidity is the number of replaceable hydrogen atoms in one molecule of the base.
(a) If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
(b) If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
(c) If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
(d) If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
(e) If the Assertion is incorrect but the Reason is correct.
(c) If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
Explanation:
Yes, Eq. wt of a base = Molecular weight/Acidity
Thus, assertion is correct. Acidity is the number of replaceable –OH groups (not hydrogen atoms) present in a molecule. Thus, reason is false.
