Assertion: Stannous chloride is a powerf...

Assertion: Stannous chloride is a powerful oxidising agent which oxidises mercuric chloride to mercury
Reason: Stannous chloride gives grey precipitate with mercuric chloride, but stannic chloride does not do so.

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:
D
Here, assertion is false, because stannous chloride is a strong reducing agent not strong oxidising agent. Stannous chlorides gives grey precipitate with mercuric chloride. Hence, reason is true.
