Question

Assertion: Assertion: Reaction of conc. $H_2SO_4$ on $NaBr$ and $NaI$ does not give $HBr$ and $HI$.
Reason: $HBr$ and $HI$ are oxidised by conc. H₂SO₄ to Br₂ and I₂.

• A. If both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion
• B. If both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion
• C. If Assertion is true, but Reason is false
• D. If both Assertion and Reason are false

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$ H _{2} SO _{4}$ when react with $NaBr$ and $Nal$, give out $Br _{2}$ and $I _{2}$ as concentrated $H _{2} SO _{4}$ is a strong oxidising agent.
