13. Assertion & Reason Type
Directions: In the following questions, a statement of assertion is followed by a
statement of reason, Mark the correct choice as:
a. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of
assertion.
b. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of
assertion.
c. If assertion is true but reason is false.
d. If both assertion and reason are false.
i. Assertion: CuO (s) + H2 (g) → Cu(s) + H2O (1) is a redox reaction.
Reason: In a redox reaction, reductant is reduced by accepting electrons and
oxidant is oxidised by losing electrons.
ii. Assertion: When a zinc rod is dipped in a solution of copper sulphate, zinc rod
dissolves partially and its surface is coated with copper metal.
Reason: This reaction is due to the presence of sulphate ions.
iii. Assertion: 2H2S (s) +O2 (g) → 2S (s) +2H2O (l) is a redox reaction
Reason: Oxidation involves removal of hydrogen while reduction involves
addition of hydrogen.
iv. Assertion: SO2 and Cl2 both are bleaching agents.
Reason: Both are reducing agents.
v. Assertion: Corrosion of iron is commonly known as rusting.
Reason: Corrosion of iron occurs in presence of water and air.
vi. Assertion: Food materials are often packed in air tight container.
Reason: Oxidation, resulting in rancidity, is prevented.
vii. Assertion: A magnesium ribbon burns with a dazzling flame in air and changes
into a white substance, magnesium oxide.
Reason: It is an example of decomposition reaction.
viii. Assertion: Following reaction describes the rusting of iron and is a redox reaction,
4Fe + 3O2 → 4Fe3+ + 6O2-
Reason: The metallic iron is oxidised to Fe³, and O_{2} is reduced to O ^ 2-
ix. Assertion: The reaction in which a substance is decomposed into two or more
simple substances is known as decomposition reaction.
Reason: The decomposition can be carried out by giving energy in the form of
heat, light, electricity etc.
x. Assertion: When a mixture of hydrogen and chlorine is placed in sunlight,
hydrogen chloride is formed.
Reason: It is an example of combination reaction.
