Assertion (A): The solubility of most salts in water increases with rise in temperature.
Reason (R): For most of the ionic compounds, Δsol H∘\Delta_{\text {sol }} H^{\circ} is positive and the dissociation process is endothermic.
View answer and explanation

Both Assertion and Reason are correct; Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
Option A (Both Assertion and Reason are correct; Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion) is correct because the solubility of most salts increases with temperature due to the endothermic nature of the dissolution process.

Statement I : Enthalpy changes are positive when Na2SO4.10 H2O, CuSO4.5H2ON{a_2}S{O_4}.10\,{H_2}O,\,CuS{O_4}.5{H_2}O and salts like NaClNaCl, KClKCl etc., which do not form hydrates are dissolved in water. But enthalpy changes are negative when anhydrous salts capable of forming hydrates are dissolved in water
Statement II : The difference in the behaviour is due to large differences in the molecular weight of hydrated and anhydrous salts. The substances with larger molecular weights usually show positive enthalpy changes on dissolution.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Only Statement I is correct
Option A (Only Statement I is correct) is correct because Statement I accurately describes enthalpy changes during dissolution, while Statement II incorrectly attributes these changes solely to molecular weight differences.
