The correct Answer is:
To analyze the assertion and reason provided in the question, let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that \( O_3 \) (ozone) is a better oxidizing agent than \( H_2O_2 \) (hydrogen peroxide). **Explanation**: - Ozone is known to be a strong oxidizing agent due to its instability. It can readily decompose to release nascent oxygen, which is highly reactive and can oxidize other substances effectively. - In contrast, hydrogen peroxide is more stable and does not oxidize substances as readily as ozone. ### Step 2: Evaluate the Reason The reason given is that \( O_3 \) converts silver (Ag) to silver oxide (\( Ag_2O \)). **Explanation**: - This reaction indicates that ozone can oxidize silver to form silver oxide, which supports the assertion that ozone is a strong oxidizing agent. - However, while this reaction demonstrates the oxidizing ability of ozone, it does not fully explain why ozone is a better oxidizing agent than hydrogen peroxide. ### Step 3: Conclusion - Both the assertion and the reason are true: \( O_3 \) is indeed a better oxidizing agent than \( H_2O_2 \), and \( O_3 \) can convert Ag to \( Ag_2O \). - However, the reason does not adequately explain the assertion. The assertion is based on the general properties of ozone as an oxidizing agent, while the reason provides a specific example without addressing the comparative stability and reactivity of the two oxidizing agents. ### Final Answer Based on the analysis, the correct option is: **Option 2**: Both assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion. ---
