Assertion: Cu is less reactive than hydrogen.
Reason : `E_(Cu^(2+)//Cu)^(Theta)` is negative.

A

Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

Assertion is true but the reason is false.

D

Both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Assertion is true, but the reason is false.
Standard electrode potential of `E^(@)" "Cu^(2+)//Cu=0.34`
V and `E_(H^(+)//H_(2))^(Theta)=0.0V`. This shows that copper is less reactive than hydrogen.
