Assertion: HgCl(2) and SnCl(2) cannot ex...

Assertion: `HgCl_(2) and SnCl_(2)` cannot exist together in an aqueous solution.
Reason: `SnCl_(2)` is a strong reducing agent because Sn shows inert part effect.

A

If assertion is true but the reason is false

B

If assertion is false but reason is true

C

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

D

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`2HgCl_(2)+SnCl_(2) to underset("white")(Hg_(2)Cl_(2)darr)+SnCl_(4)`
`Hg_(2)Cl_(2)+SnCl_(2) to underset("grey")(2Hg) darr+SnCl_(4)`
