The correct Answer is:
To analyze the assertion and reason provided in the question, we need to break down the concepts involved in the desilverization of lead using Parkes' method. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Desilverisation of lead is done by Parke's method". - Parkes' method is indeed a well-known process for removing silver from lead. It involves adding zinc to molten lead, which preferentially combines with silver to form a zinc-silver alloy. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "When lead-silver alloy is poor in silver, zinc is added to molten ore." - This statement is somewhat misleading. Zinc is added to the molten lead-silver alloy, not to the ore itself. The purpose of adding zinc is to extract silver from the lead when the alloy contains a low concentration of silver. 3. **Analyzing the Process**: - In Parkes' method, when zinc is added to molten lead, it forms a separate layer because zinc is not miscible with lead. - The solubility of silver in zinc is significantly higher than in lead. Therefore, silver will preferentially migrate into the zinc layer, allowing for its separation from lead. 4. **Conclusion**: - The assertion is correct as Parkes' method is indeed used for desilverization of lead. - The reason is misleading because it incorrectly states that zinc is added to the ore instead of the molten lead-silver alloy. 5. **Final Answer**: - The correct answer is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false.

Salts A, B, C, D and E undergo reactions (i) to (v) respectively. Identify the anion present in these salts on the basis of these reactions. Tabulate your answers in the format given below: (i) When silver nitrate solution is added to a solution of A, a white precipitate, insoluble in dilute nitric acid, is formed. (ii) Addition of dilute hydrochloric acid to B produces a gas which turns lead acetate paper black. (iii) When a freshly prepared solution of ferrous sulphate is added to a solution of C and concentrated sulphuric acid is gently poured from the side of the test-tube, a brown ring is formed. (iv) When dilute sulphuric acid is added to D a gas is produced which turns acidified potassium dichromate solution from orange to green. (v) Addition of dilute hydrochloric acid to E produces an effervescence. The gas produced turns lime water milky but does not affect acidified potassium dichromate solution.
