The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the oxidation state of carbon in glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and the validity of the assertion and reason provided, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Assertion and Reason - **Assertion (A)**: The oxidation state of carbon in C₆H₁₂O₆ is 0. - **Reason (R)**: The oxidation state of carbon in all organic compounds is 0. ### Step 2: Calculate the Oxidation State of Carbon in C₆H₁₂O₆ 1. **Write the formula for the compound**: C₆H₁₂O₆ (glucose). 2. **Assign variables to oxidation states**: Let the oxidation state of carbon be \( x \). 3. **Count the number of each type of atom**: - There are 6 carbon atoms. - There are 12 hydrogen atoms. - There are 6 oxygen atoms. 4. **Use the known oxidation states**: - Hydrogen (H) typically has an oxidation state of +1. - Oxygen (O) typically has an oxidation state of -2. 5. **Set up the equation based on the total charge**: \[ 6x + (12 \times +1) + (6 \times -2) = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 6x + 12 - 12 = 0 \] So: \[ 6x = 0 \] Therefore: \[ x = 0 \] ### Step 3: Conclusion for Assertion - The oxidation state of carbon in C₆H₁₂O₆ is indeed 0. Thus, **Assertion (A) is true**. ### Step 4: Analyze the Reason 1. **Evaluate the statement in Reason (R)**: The oxidation state of carbon in all organic compounds is 0. 2. **Provide a counterexample**: Consider carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄): - Let the oxidation state of carbon be \( x \). - The oxidation states of chlorine (Cl) is -1. - Set up the equation: \[ x + 4(-1) = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ x - 4 = 0 \implies x = +4 \] 3. **Conclusion for Reason**: The oxidation state of carbon in CCl₄ is +4, which shows that the statement in Reason (R) is false. ### Final Conclusion - **Assertion (A)** is true, while **Reason (R)** is false. ### Summary - The correct answer is: **A is true, but R is false**.
