Question

Assertion : Salts are the products of an acid - base reaction
Reason : salts may be acidic or basic

A) both Assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
B)both assertion and reason are true and reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

Answer 1

Answer:

B)both assertion and reason are true and reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

Explanation:

Reason for A should be "acids and bases undergo Neutralization reaction"

Answer 2

Answer:

Both the assertion and reason are true and the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion.

Explanation:

Whenever an acid reacts with a salt, a neutralization reaction takes place, and the end products are salt and water.

Acid + Base = Salt + Water

The salts may be acidic or basic depending on the types of acid or base, or even sometimes, on the reaction conditions and catalysts/poisons (catalytic poisons) involved.
