Both assertion and reason are correct.
- Acid is a solution with high hydrogen ion concentration while base is a solution characterized by high hydroxyl ion concentration.
- Strength of acid and base states the readiness of acid or base to dissociate in water.
- As the dilution increases, hydroxyl or hydrogen ion concentration changes effecting the strength and hence ionization of base or acid.
