Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A: During the boiling of water having temporary hardness, Mg(HCO3)2Mg{(HC{O_3})_2} is converted to MgCO3MgC{O_3}.
Reason R The solubility product of Mg(OH)2Mg{(OH)_2} is greater than that of MgCO3MgC{O_3}.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
A is false but R is true.
Option D (A is false but R is true) is correct because Mg(HCO3)2Mg(HCO_3)_2 decomposes to Mg(OH)2Mg(OH)_2 and MgCO3MgCO_3 upon boiling, and the solubility product of Mg(OH)2Mg(OH)_2 is indeed greater than that of MgCO3MgCO_3.
