The correct Answer is:
To analyze the assertion and reason provided in the question, we can break down the solution into the following steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that "the metallurgy of Ag from argentite is known as hydrometallurgy." - **Explanation**: Hydrometallurgy is a method of extracting metals from their ores using aqueous solutions. In this case, argentite (Ag2S) is the ore from which silver (Ag) is extracted using hydrometallurgical methods. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason The reason states that "argentite is Ag2S." - **Explanation**: Argentite is indeed the mineral form of silver sulfide, which has the chemical formula Ag2S. This is a factual statement about the composition of argentite. ### Step 3: Evaluate the Relationship Between Assertion and Reason - The assertion is true because argentite can be processed using hydrometallurgy to extract silver. - The reason is also true as it correctly identifies the chemical formula of argentite. ### Step 4: Determine the Correctness of the Explanation - While both the assertion and reason are true, the reason does not explain why the metallurgy of Ag from argentite is classified as hydrometallurgy. The reason simply states what argentite is, without linking it to the process of hydrometallurgy. ### Conclusion Both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion. Therefore, the correct answer is that both statements are true, but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer Both assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion. ---
