Statement 1 : H2SO4 cannot act as reduc...

Statement 1 : `H_2SO_4` cannot act as reducing agent.
Statement 2 : Sulphur cannot increase its oxidation number beyond + 6.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
Maximum oxidation state of S is +6, it cannot exceed it. Therefore it can't be further oxidized as `S^(-2)` can't be reduced further.
