The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion and the reason provided: **Assertion (A)**: Ferrocyanide ion oxidizes \( H_2O_2 \) to \( H_2O \). **Reason (R)**: Oxidation product of \( H_2O_2 \) is \( O_2 \). ### Step 1: Write the Reaction The reaction involving ferrocyanide ion (\( Fe(CN)_6^{3-} \)) and hydrogen peroxide (\( H_2O_2 \)) can be represented as follows: \[ Fe(CN)_6^{3-} + H_2O_2 + OH^- \rightarrow Fe(CN)_6^{4-} + 2H_2O + O_2 \] ### Step 2: Analyze the Oxidation States - In the reaction, the oxidation state of iron changes from +3 in \( Fe(CN)_6^{3-} \) to +2 in \( Fe(CN)_6^{4-} \). - The oxidation state of oxygen in \( H_2O_2 \) is -1, and in \( O_2 \) it is 0. ### Step 3: Identify the Type of Reaction - The change in oxidation state of oxygen from -1 in \( H_2O_2 \) to 0 in \( O_2 \) indicates that \( H_2O_2 \) is being oxidized to \( O_2 \). - This means that \( H_2O_2 \) is not just being converted to \( H_2O \), but it is actually oxidized to \( O_2 \) in this reaction. ### Step 4: Evaluate the Assertion and Reason - The assertion states that ferrocyanide ion oxidizes \( H_2O_2 \) to \( H_2O \), which is misleading because the primary oxidation product is \( O_2 \). - The reason states that the oxidation product of \( H_2O_2 \) is \( O_2 \), which is correct. ### Conclusion - Since the assertion is incorrect (it misrepresents the primary product of the oxidation), and the reason is correct, the final conclusion is: - **Assertion is incorrect, Reason is correct.** ### Final Answer The correct option is: Assertion is incorrect, Reason is correct. ---
