The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion-reason question, we need to evaluate both statements provided and determine their correctness and relationship. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Analyze Statement 1** - **Statement 1**: "C + O₂ → CO₂, carbon gets oxidized." - In this reaction, carbon (C) reacts with oxygen (O₂) to form carbon dioxide (CO₂). - The oxidation state of carbon in its elemental form (C) is 0. - In carbon dioxide (CO₂), the oxidation state of carbon is +4 (since each oxygen has an oxidation state of -2, and there are two oxygens: 2 * -2 = -4, thus carbon must be +4 to balance the charge). - Since the oxidation state of carbon increases from 0 to +4, carbon is indeed oxidized in this reaction. - **Conclusion**: Statement 1 is correct. **Step 2: Analyze Statement 2** - **Statement 2**: "Gain of hydrogen is reduction." - In general, reduction is defined as the gain of electrons or a decrease in oxidation state. - When a substance gains hydrogen, it typically means that it is being reduced because hydrogen is often associated with an increase in the number of electrons (or a decrease in oxidation state). - For example, in the reaction of hydrogen with oxygen to form water (H₂ + O₂ → H₂O), oxygen is reduced as it gains electrons. - Therefore, the gain of hydrogen can be considered a reduction process. - **Conclusion**: Statement 2 is also correct. **Step 3: Determine the Relationship Between the Statements** - While both statements are correct, we need to evaluate if Statement 2 serves as a correct explanation for Statement 1. - Statement 1 discusses the oxidation of carbon, while Statement 2 discusses the reduction associated with the gain of hydrogen. - There is no direct connection between the oxidation of carbon and the gain of hydrogen in the context of Statement 1. - **Conclusion**: Statement 2 does not correctly explain Statement 1. ### Final Answer: Both statements are true, but Statement 2 is not the correct explanation for Statement 1.
