Which of the following reaction produces hydrogen ?
Mg + H2O
H2S2O8 + H2O
BaO2 + HCl
Na2O2 + 2HCl
Assertion: Stannous chloride gives a grey precipitate with mercuric chloride, but stannic chloride does not do so.
Reason: Stannous chloride is a powerful oxidising an agent which oxidises mercuric chloride to metallic mercury.
If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion.
If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion.
If the assertion is true but the reason is false.
If both the assertion and reason are false.
Assertion: Diamond is a bad conductor.
Reason: Graphite is a good conductor.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is a correct explanation of the assertion.
If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion.
If the assertion is true but the reason is false.
If both the assertion and reason are false.
B.
If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion.
In diamond, each carbon atom is in an sp3 hybridized state and linked to four other carbon atoms tetrahedrally by covalent bonds. Since there is no mobile electron present, the diamond is a bad conductor of heat and electricity.
In graphite, each carbon atom is in an sp2 hybridized state and is linked to three other carbon atoms in a hexagonal planar structure. The electrons are free to move throughout the entire layers, therefore graphite is a good conductor of heat and electricity.
