The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the assertion and reasoning provided, we will analyze both statements step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion **Assertion (A):** CO₂ is a Lewis acid. - **Definition of Lewis Acid:** A Lewis acid is defined as a species that can accept an electron pair from a Lewis base. - **Analysis of CO₂:** Carbon dioxide (CO₂) has a central carbon atom that is capable of accepting electron pairs due to its empty p-orbitals. When CO₂ interacts with a Lewis base, it can accept an electron pair, making it a Lewis acid. **Conclusion for Assertion:** The assertion that CO₂ is a Lewis acid is **correct**. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reasoning **Reason (R):** H₂SO₄ is an Arrhenius acid as well as a Brønsted acid. - **Definition of Arrhenius Acid:** An Arrhenius acid is a substance that increases the concentration of H⁺ ions in aqueous solution. - **Analysis of H₂SO₄:** When sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) is dissolved in water, it dissociates to produce H⁺ ions: \[ H₂SO₄ \rightarrow 2H^+ + SO₄^{2-} \] This confirms that H₂SO₄ is indeed an Arrhenius acid. - **Definition of Brønsted Acid:** A Brønsted acid is a substance that donates protons (H⁺ ions). - **Analysis of H₂SO₄:** H₂SO₄ donates H⁺ ions, thus acting as a Brønsted acid. **Conclusion for Reasoning:** The reasoning that H₂SO₄ is both an Arrhenius acid and a Brønsted acid is **correct**. ### Step 3: Determine the Relationship Between Assertion and Reasoning - While both the assertion and reasoning are correct, the reasoning does not provide a correct explanation for the assertion. The assertion discusses CO₂ as a Lewis acid, while the reasoning discusses H₂SO₄'s properties as an Arrhenius and Brønsted acid, which are unrelated to the classification of CO₂. ### Final Conclusion Both the assertion and reasoning are correct, but the reasoning does not correctly explain the assertion. Therefore, the correct answer is: **Option 2:** Both assertion and reason are correct, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. ---
