Assertion : The only way to get F(2) for...

Assertion : The only way to get `F_(2)` form `F^(-)` is to oxidise electrolytically.
Reason : The recovery of halogens from their halides requires an oxidation process.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Chemical means ( oxidising agents like `KMnO_(4), K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7), MnO_(2)`) are available to oxidise `Cl^(-)`, `Br^(-)` and `I^(-)`. As fluorine itselt is a strongest oxidising agent, there is no way to convert `F^(-)` to `F_(2)` by chemical means, hence it is oxidised electrolytically.

Assertion : In the reaction : MnO_(2) + 4HCl to MnCl_(2) +2H_(2)O + Cl_(2) HCl is getting oxidized while MnO_(2) is getting reduced. Reason : The process in which oxygen is added toa substance is called oxidation whereas the process in which oxygen is removed from a substance is called reduction.
