A

If both (A) and (R) are correct, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)

B

If both (A) and (R) are correct, but (R) is the not the correct explanation of (A).

C

If (A) is correct, but (R) is incorrect.

D

The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states that `Fe^(3+)` can be used for the coagulation of `As_(2)S_(3)` sol. - `As_(2)S_(3)` is known to be a negatively charged colloidal sol. Colloids are stabilized by their charge, and in order to coagulate them, we need to neutralize that charge. 2. **Role of `Fe^(3+)`**: - `Fe^(3+)` is a positively charged ion. When added to the negatively charged `As_(2)S_(3)` sol, it can neutralize the charge of the colloid. - This neutralization leads to the destabilization of the colloid, causing the particles to come together and coagulate. 3. **Understanding the Reason (R)**: - The reason states that `Fe^(3+)` reacts with `As_(2)S_(3)` to give `Fe_(2)S_(3)`. - However, this reaction does not actually occur. `Fe^(3+)` does not react with `As_(2)S_(3)` to form `Fe_(2)S_(3)`. Instead, it simply neutralizes the charge of the colloidal particles. 4. **Conclusion**: - The assertion is correct because `Fe^(3+)` can indeed be used for the coagulation of `As_(2)S_(3)` sol. - The reason is incorrect because there is no reaction between `Fe^(3+)` and `As_(2)S_(3)` to form `Fe_(2)S_(3)`. - Therefore, the correct answer is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. ### Final Answer: - Assertion (A) is correct. - Reason (R) is incorrect. - The answer is option C: Assertion is correct, Reason is incorrect.
