Assertion `(A) :` Galvanized iron does not rust.
Reason `(R): Zn` has a more negative electrode potential than `Fe`.

A

If both `(A)` and `(R)` are correct, and `(R)` is the correct explanation of `(A)`.

B

If both `(A)` and `(R)` are correct, but `(R)` is not the correct explanation of `(A)`.

C

If `(A)` is correct, but `(R)` is incorrect.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a
Both `(A)` and `(R)` are correct and `(R)` is the correct explanation of `(A)`.
More `-ve` electrode potential of `Zn` means less reduction potential or high oxidation potential. Hence, `Zn` is more easily oxidized than `Fe`.
