Assertion : `FeSO_(4)` (aq) is not a primary standard.
Reason : In aqueous medium, `Fe^(2++)` ions are not present.

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:
C
A standard solution of `FeSO_(4)` (aq) cannot be prepared by simple weighing as some of the `Fe^(2+)` are readily oxidised to `Fe^(3+)` ions.

Assertion : FeSO_(4).7H_(2)O always contains traces of Fe^(3+) ions. Reason : This is due to oxidation of Fe^(2+)" to "Fe^(3+) ions.

Assertion (A) : Fe^(3+) (g) ion is more stable than Fe^(2+)(g) ion. Reason (R) : Fe^(3+) ion has more number of unpaired electrons than Fe^(2+) ion.

Aqueous solution of FeSO_(4) does not produce precipitate with:

Assertion Cu^(o+) ion is unstable in aqueous solution, whereas Fe^(2+) ion is stable Cu^(o+) disproportionate in aqueous solution .

Assertion : Fe^(2+) has 3de electronic configuration. Reason : Electrons are lost from 4s-orbital to form Fe^(2+) ion.

Assertion: An aqueous solution of FeCl_3 is acidic. Reason: It is due to cationic hydrolysis of Fe^(3+) ion to give Fe(OH)_3 and H^(o+) ions.
