Assertion Suger and alcohols are soluble in water Reason They have \( \boldsymbol{O}-\boldsymbol{H} \) bonds which bind to water by hydrogen bonding
- A. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
- B. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
- C. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
- D. Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
Step-by-step solution
Sugars (e.g., sucrose) and alcohols (e.g., ethanol) are soluble in water due to the presence of O-H bonds, which form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, making them hydrophilic. Thus, both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion.
