The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states that hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) reacts with lead sulfide (PbS) to form lead sulfate (PbSO₄). - **Chemical Reaction**: The reaction can be represented as: \[ 4 \text{H}_2\text{O}_2 + \text{PbS} \rightarrow \text{PbSO}_4 + 4 \text{H}_2\text{O} \] - **Balancing**: The reaction is balanced by ensuring that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states that hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is a weak acid. - **Acidic Nature**: H₂O₂ can act as a weak acid due to the presence of hydrogen ions (H⁺) in its structure. However, its primary role in the reaction with PbS is not as an acid but as an oxidizing agent. ### Step 3: Determine the Role of H₂O₂ In the reaction: - H₂O₂ acts as an oxidizing agent, converting PbS (where sulfur is in the -2 oxidation state) to PbSO₄ (where sulfur is in the +6 oxidation state). - This indicates that H₂O₂ is undergoing reduction while PbS is being oxidized. ### Step 4: Conclusion - **Assertion**: True, H₂O₂ does react with PbS to form PbSO₄. - **Reason**: True, H₂O₂ is a weak acid, but this is not the reason for its reaction with PbS in this context. ### Final Answer The assertion is correct, and the reason is also correct, but the reason does not correctly explain the assertion. Therefore, the answer is option B: "Assertion is correct, Reason is correct, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion." ---
