Assertion (A): SO(2) and Cl(2) are both ...

Assertion (A): `SO_(2)` and `Cl_(2)` are both bleaching agents.
Reason (R ): Both are reducing agents.

A

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

B

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

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion is false but reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
It is true that `SO_(2)` and `Cl_(2)` both are bleaching agents. But `Cl_(2)` is an oxidising agent while `SO_(2)` is a reducing agent. Therefore, in this question assertion is true while reason is false.
