The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states that the reaction \(3ClO^{-} \rightarrow ClO_{3}^{-} + 2Cl^{-}\) is an example of a dissociation reaction. **Dissociation Reaction Definition**: A dissociation reaction is a process in which a compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances, typically ions or smaller molecules. In this case, the reaction involves the conversion of \(ClO^{-}\) into \(ClO_{3}^{-}\) and \(Cl^{-}\). This does not fit the definition of a dissociation reaction, as it is not simply breaking down into smaller components but involves a change in oxidation states. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states that \(ClO^{-}\) gets oxidized as well as reduced. **Oxidation and Reduction**: - Oxidation is the loss of electrons (increase in oxidation state). - Reduction is the gain of electrons (decrease in oxidation state). To verify this, we need to determine the oxidation states of chlorine in the reactants and products: - In \(ClO^{-}\), let the oxidation state of Cl be \(+1\). - In \(ClO_{3}^{-}\), the oxidation state of Cl can be calculated as follows: \[ x + 3(-2) = -1 \implies x - 6 = -1 \implies x = +5 \] - In \(Cl^{-}\), the oxidation state of Cl is \(-1\). Now, we can see: - \(Cl\) in \(ClO^{-}\) goes from \(+1\) to \(+5\) (oxidation). - \(Cl\) in \(ClO^{-}\) goes from \(+1\) to \(-1\) (reduction). Since \(ClO^{-}\) is both oxidized and reduced, the reason is correct. ### Conclusion - The assertion is **false** because the reaction is not a dissociation reaction. - The reason is **true** because \(ClO^{-}\) undergoes both oxidation and reduction. Thus, the correct answer is: **Assertion is wrong, but reason is correct.** ### Final Answer **Option 4: Assertion is wrong, reason is correct.** ---
