Given below are two statements. Read the statements carefully and select the correct option.
Statement I: All bases do not dissolve in water.
Statement II: Bases that are soluble in water are called alkalis.
-
A.
Both Statements I and II are false.
-
B.
Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
-
C.
Both Statements I and II are true.
-
D.
Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
Correct Answer:
C. Both Statements I and II are true.
Explanation:
Statement I is correct because while many bases are insoluble, only those that dissolve in water are classified as alkalis. Statement II is also correct as it provides the standard definition of an alkali: a base that is soluble in water. Since both statements accurately describe the relationship between bases and alkalis, the correct option is that both Statements I and II are true.
