Reason \(R\) : Water acts as an acid with \(NH _{3}\) and as a base with \(H _{2} S\). In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A Both \(A\) and \(R\) are true and \(R\) is the correct explanation of \(A\).
  2. B Both \(A\) and \(R\) are true but \(R\) is NOT the correct explanation of \(A\).
  3. C \(A\) is true but \(R\) is false.
  4. D \(A\) is false but \(R\) is true.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(A\) is false but \(R\) is true.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\underset{\text { Acid }}{ H _{2} S }+\underset{\text { Base }}{ H _{2} O } \rightleftharpoons H _{3} O ^{+}+ HS ^{-}\) \(\underset{\text { Acid }}{ H _{2} O }+\underset{\text { Base }}{ NH _{3}} \rightleftharpoons NH _{4} OH\)
