Assertion`(A):` Whne acidified `ZnSO_(4)` solution is electrolyzed between `Zn` electrodes, it is `Zn` that is deposited at the cathode and `H_(2)(g)` is not evolved.
Reason `(R):` The electrode potential of `Zn` is more negative than hydrogen as the overpotential for hydrogen evolution in `Zn` is quite large.

A

If both `(A)` and `(R)` are correct, and `(R)` is the correct explanation of `(A)`.

B

If both `(A)` and `(R)` are correct, but `(R)` is not the correct explanation of `(A)`.

C

If `(A)` is correct, but `(R)` is incorrect.

D

If `(A)` is incorrect, `(R)` is correct.

  • Assertion: When acidified zinc sulphate solution is electrolysed between zinc electrodes, it is zinc that is deposited at the cathode and hydrogen evolution does not take place. Reason: The electrode potential of zinc is more negative than hydrogen as the overvoltage for the hydrogen as the evolution on zinc is quite large.
