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

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Zinc metal which has a more negative electrode potential than iron will provide electrons in preference of the iron, and therefore corrode first. Only when all the zinc has been oxidised does the iron start to rust
