Assertion (A): In aqueous solution, `SO_(2)` reacts with `H_(2)S` liberating sulphur
Reason (R ): `SO_(2)` is an effective reducing agent.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

If both assertion and reason are false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`SO_(2)` shows both oxidising as well as reducing nature. The reaction given in assertion is due to oxidising nature of `SO_(2).`
`2H_(2)S+SO_(2)rarr2H_(2)O+3s`
