Statement-I: If an aqueous solution of `NaCI` is electrolysed, the product obtained at the cathode is `H_(2)` gas and no Na.
Because Statement-II: Gases are liberated faster than the metals.

A

If both assertion and reason are correct and reason is correct explanation for assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.

C

If assertion is correct but reason is incorrect.

D

If assertion and reason both are incorrect.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
(c ) Correct reason . Molar The reduction potential of `H_(2)O` is more than that of Na. Therefore, `H^(+)` ions are reduced in preference to `Na^(+)` ions.
