Assertion (A): Magnesium can be obtained by the electronlysis of aqueous solution of `MgCl_(2)`.
Reason (R ): The electrode potential of `Mg^(2+)` is much higher than `H^(o+)`.

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 incrrect, but `(R )` is correct.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Correct assertion: Magnesium can be obtained by the electrolysis of fused `MgCl_(2)`.
Correct reason: the electrode potential of `Mg^(2+)` is much lower than `H^(o+)`.

    Assertion: Alkali metals are obtained by electrolysis of molten salt and not aqueous solution. Reason: The discharge potential of H^(+) ions is lower than alkali metals cation hence hydrogen is dicharged at cathode instead of metal.

    Assertion : Magnesium is extracted by the electrolysis of fused mixture of MgCl_(2), NaCl and CaCl_(2) . Reason: Calcium chloride acts as a reducing agent.

    Statement-1: Alkali metal can not prepared by the elctrolysis of their chlorides in aqueous solution. Statement-2: Reduction potentials of alkali metals cations is much lower than that H_(2)O .
