Assertion:A solution of bromine in C Cl4...

Assertion:A solution of bromine in `C Cl_4` is decolorised on passing acetylene gas through it
Reasoning : Bromine is expelled from the solution by acetylene gas

A

Assertion is true but the Reason is false

B

Assertion is false, Reason is true

C

Both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Reason.

D

Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reasoning provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that a solution of bromine in carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is decolorized when acetylene gas (C2H2) is passed through it. - Bromine (Br2) is a reddish-brown liquid, and when it reacts with unsaturated compounds (like acetylene), it undergoes an addition reaction, which leads to the loss of color (decolorization). 2. **Chemical Reaction**: - When acetylene (C2H2) is introduced to bromine in CCl4, the acetylene reacts with bromine to form dibromoethane (C2H2Br2). - The reaction can be represented as: \[ C2H2 + Br2 \rightarrow C2H2Br2 \] - This reaction indicates that the bromine is being consumed in the reaction, leading to the decolorization of the bromine solution. 3. **Conclusion on Assertion**: - Since the bromine solution is indeed decolorized due to the reaction with acetylene, the assertion is **true**. 4. **Understanding the Reasoning**: - The reasoning states that "bromine is expelled from the solution by acetylene gas." - However, this statement is misleading. Bromine is not expelled; instead, it is consumed in the reaction with acetylene. 5. **Conclusion on Reasoning**: - Therefore, the reasoning is **false** because it incorrectly describes the process as expulsion rather than consumption. 6. **Final Answer**: - The correct conclusion is that the assertion is true, but the reasoning is false. Thus, the answer is: Assertion is true, Reason is false.
