Assertion : HgCl(2) and SnCl(2) exist to...

Assertion : `HgCl_(2)` and `SnCl_(2)` exist together in an aqueous solution.
Reason : `SnCl_(2)` is a strong reducing agent.

A

If both the assertion and reason are ture but the reason is a true explanation of the assertion.

B

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

C

If the 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
`SnCl_(2)` will reduce `HgCl_(2)` to `HgCl_(2)` and finally to `Hg`.
