Q. Assertion (A): to a solution of potassium chromate, if a strong acid is added, it changes its colour from yellow to orange.
Reason (R): The colour change is due to the change in oxidation state of potassium chromate.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion and reason provided, and determine their truth values and relationship. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states: "To a solution of potassium chromate, if a strong acid is added, it changes its colour from yellow to orange." - Potassium chromate (K2CrO4) is known to be yellow in color. When a strong acid is added, it converts to potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7), which is orange in color. Therefore, this assertion is **true**. 2. **Understanding the Reason (R)**: - The reason states: "The colour change is due to the change in oxidation state of potassium chromate." - In potassium chromate, chromium is in the +6 oxidation state. When it converts to potassium dichromate, the oxidation state of chromium remains +6. Thus, there is **no change** in the oxidation state of chromium during this process. Therefore, this reason is **false**. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, we can conclude: - Assertion (A) is true. - Reason (R) is false. - Thus, the correct answer is **(c)**: Assertion (A) is true, Reason (R) is false. ### Final Answer: (c). Assertion (A) is true, Reason (R) is false.
