Assertion`(A):` Whne acidified `ZnSO_(4)` solution is electrolyzed between `Zn` electrodes, it is `Zn` that is deposited at the cathode and `H_(2)(g)` is not evolved.
Reason `(R):` The electrode potential of `Zn` is more negative than hydrogen as the overpotential for hydrogen evolution in `Zn` is quite large.
