Given below are two statements:
Assertion (A): | In the reaction between potassium permanganate and potassium iodide, permanganate ions act as an oxidising agent. |
Reason (R): | The oxidation state of manganese changes from +2 to +7 during the reaction. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
Assertion (A): | The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to form water and oxygen is an example of a disproportionation reaction. |
Reason (R): | The oxygen of peroxide is in –1 oxidation state and it is converted to zero oxidation state in O2 and –2 oxidation state in H2O. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
