Assertion : Ammoniacal silver nitrate converts glucose to gluconic acid and metallic silver is precipitated.
Reason : Glucose acts as a week reducing agent.

Options

A. Statement-1 is True, Statement -2 is True , Statement-2 is a correct explanation for statement-1
B. Statement-1 is True, Statement -2 is True , Statement-2 is Not a correct explanation for statement-1.
C. Statement-1 is True, Statement -2 is False
D. Statement-1 is False, Statement -2 is True

Explanation

To solve the assertion and reasoning question, we will break it down into steps to verify the correctness of both the assertion and the reason.

### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion
The assertion states: "Ammoniacal silver nitrate converts glucose to gluconic acid and metallic silver is precipitated."

1. **Identify Ammoniacal Silver Nitrate**: Ammoniacal silver nitrate, represented as Ag(NH3)2NO3, is known to be a strong oxidizing agent.
2. **Understand the Reaction**: Glucose (C6H12O6) contains an aldehyde group (CHO) that can be oxidized. When glucose is treated with ammoniacal silver nitrate, the aldehyde group is oxidized to a carboxylic acid, specifically gluconic acid (C6H12O7).
3. **Precipitation of Metallic Silver**: During this oxidation process, the ammoniacal silver nitrate is reduced, leading to the precipitation of metallic silver (Ag).
