Assertion : CuSO(4).5H(2)O on heating to...

Assertion : `CuSO_(4).5H_(2)O` on heating to `250^(@)C` losses all the five `H_(2) O` molecules and becomes anhydrous.
Reason : All five `H_(2) O` molecules are coordinated to the central `Cu^(2+)` ion.

A

If both Assertion & Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark (1)

B

If both Assertion & Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark (2)

C

If Assertion is true statement but Reason is false, then mark (3)

D

If both Assertion and Reason are false statements, then mark (4)

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that `CuSO4.5H2O` (copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate) loses all five water molecules when heated to `250°C` and becomes anhydrous. - On heating, copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate does indeed lose its water of crystallization. The process can be represented as: \[ \text{CuSO}_4 \cdot 5\text{H}_2\text{O} \xrightarrow{250^\circ C} \text{CuSO}_4 + 5\text{H}_2\text{O} \] - Therefore, the assertion is **correct**. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that all five water molecules are coordinated to the central `Cu^(2+)` ion. - In reality, only four of the five water molecules are coordinated to the `Cu^(2+)` ion in the structure of copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate. The fifth water molecule is involved in hydrogen bonding and is not directly coordinated. - Therefore, the reason is **incorrect**. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, the correct answer is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. ### Final Answer: - The assertion is true, and the reason is false.
