emit electrons
absorb neutrons
emit neutrons
absorb electrons
B.
absorb neutrons
Cadmium rods are used to absorb neutrons in nuclear reactors, because cadmium is neutron absorber.

Corrosion of iron is essentially an electrochemical phenomenon where the cell reactions are :
Fe is oxidised to Fe2+ and dissolved oxygen in water is reduced to OH-
Fe is oxidised to Fe3+ and H2O is reduced to
Fe is oxidised to Fe2+ and H2O is reduced to
Fe is oxidised to Fe2+ and H2O is reduced to O2
On the basis of standard electrode potential of redox couples given below, find out which of the following is the strongest oxidising agent.
(E values : Fe3+ | Fe2+ = +0.77 V; I2(s) | I- = +0.54 V; Cu2+ | Cu = +0.34 V; Ag+ | Ag = +0.80 V)
Fe3+
I2(s)
Cu2+
Ag+
Assertion : If standard reduction potential for the reaction Ag+ + e- Ag is 0.80 volt, then for the reaction 2Ag+ + 2e- 2Ag, it will be 1.60 volt.
Reason: If concentration of Ag+ ions is doubled, the standard electrode potential is also doubled.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false.
