Statement-1: Spectator ions are the species that are presetnt in the solution but do not take part in the reaction.
Because
Statement-2: The phenomena of formation of `H_(2)O_(2)` by the oxidation of `H_(2)O` is known as auto-oxidation.
Hint: `Zn+2H^(+)+2Cl^(-) to Zn^(2+)+2Cl^(-)+2Cl^(-)+H_(2)`. Here `Cl^(-)` ion is spectator ion.

Options

A. Statement-1 is true, statement-2 is true, statement-2 is a correct explanation for statement-1
B. Statement-1 is true, statement-2 is true, statement-2 is not a correct explanation for statement-1
C. Statement-1 is true, statement-1
D. Statement-1 is false, statement-2 is false

Answer

B

Explanation

`Zn+2H^(+)+2Cl^(-) to Zn^(2+)+2Cl^(-)+H_(2)`. Here `Cl^(-)` ion is spectator ion.
