1.	Assertion : Water is specially effectivein screening the electrostatic interactions between the dissolved ions. Reason : The force of ionic interactions depends upon the dielectric constant (epsi) of the solvent .
Answer» If both the assertion and reason are true statement andreason is correct explanation of the assertion . If both the assertion and reason are true statement but reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion . If the assertion is true but the reason is a false statement. If both assertion and reason are false statements. Solution :The STRENGTH of the force (F) of the ionic interaction depends , upon the MAGNITUDE of charge (Q), the distance between them and the DIELECTRIC CONSTANT of solvent as ` F=(Q_(1)Q_(2))/(epsir^(2))` Waterhas highly value for ` epsi`and thus screens the interactions between ions more effectively .
