Assertion : Ferricyanide ion oxidises `H_(2)O_(2)` to `H_(2)O`.
Reason : Oxidation product of `H_(2)O_(2)` is `O_(2)`.

Options

A. If both Assertion & Reason are True & the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
B. If both Assertion & Reason are True but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
C. If Assertion is True but the Reason is False.
D. If both Assertion & Reason are False.

Explanation

To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion and the reason provided, and determine their validity.

### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion
The assertion states that the ferricyanide ion oxidizes hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) to water (H₂O).

- **Chemical Reaction**: The reaction between ferricyanide ion (Fe(CN)₆³⁻) and hydrogen peroxide can be represented as:

\[ \text{Fe(CN)}_6^{3-} + \text{H}_2\text{O}_2 + \text{OH}^- \rightarrow 2 \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{O}_2 + 2 \text{Fe(CN)}_6^{4-} \]

- **Oxidation States**: In this reaction, the oxidation state of iron in ferricyanide (Fe³⁺) is reduced to Fe²⁺ in ferrocyanide (Fe(CN)₆²⁻). Meanwhile, the oxidation state of oxygen in H₂O₂ (−1) is oxidized to 0 in O₂.

- **Conclusion**: The assertion is **false** because H₂O₂ is oxidized to O₂, not H₂O.

### Step 2: Analyze the Reason
The reason states that the oxidation product of hydrogen peroxide is O₂.

- **Oxidation Process**: When H₂O₂ is oxidized, the oxidation state of oxygen changes from −1 in H₂O₂ to 0 in O₂, confirming that O₂ is indeed the oxidation product.

- **Conclusion**: The reason is **true**.

### Final Conclusion
- The assertion is false, and the reason is true. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that the assertion is false and the reason is true.

### Answer Options
- Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion: **False**
- Both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion: **False**
- Assertion is true but reason is false: **False**
- Both assertion and reason are false: **False**

Since none of the provided options match our conclusion, we state that the assertion is false and the reason is true.
