The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided in the statement. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion (A) The assertion states that "One faraday electricity deposits 1 mole of Na and 2 moles of Cu in NaCl and CuSO4 solution respectively." 1. **For Sodium (Na) in NaCl:** - In NaCl, sodium ions (Na⁺) are reduced at the cathode during electrolysis. - The half-reaction for sodium is: \[ \text{Na}^+ + e^- \rightarrow \text{Na} \] - This means that 1 mole of sodium requires 1 mole of electrons (1 Faraday) to deposit 1 mole of Na. 2. **For Copper (Cu) in CuSO4:** - In CuSO4, copper ions (Cu²⁺) are reduced at the cathode. - The half-reaction for copper is: \[ \text{Cu}^{2+} + 2e^- \rightarrow \text{Cu} \] - This means that 1 mole of copper requires 2 moles of electrons (2 Faradays) to deposit 1 mole of Cu. Therefore, 1 Faraday will deposit only 0.5 moles of copper. **Conclusion for Assertion (A):** - The assertion is **false** because it incorrectly states that 1 Faraday deposits 2 moles of copper; it actually deposits only 0.5 moles. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason (R) The reason states that "One faraday electricity always deposits 1 mole of any substance." - This statement is also **false**. The amount of substance deposited by 1 Faraday depends on the number of electrons required for the reduction of that substance. For example, as shown above, 1 Faraday deposits 1 mole of Na but only 0.5 moles of Cu. ### Step 3: Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are false. Therefore, the correct answer is that both A and R are false. ### Final Answer: The correct option is **Option 4: Both assertion and reason are false.** ---
