Question

Assertion: Copper sulphate solution is not stored in zinc vessel. Reason: Zinc forms complex with CuSO4. (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

Electropositive elements like zinc precipitate copper from a solution of copper sulphate and finally forms a complex. CuSO4 + Zn arrow Cu + ZnSO4(aq) arrow [Zn(H2O)4]SO4

Q. Assertion: Copper sulphate solution is not stored in zinc vessel.
Reason: Zinc forms complex with $C u S O_{4}$ .

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

Electropositive elements like zinc precipitate copper from a solution of copper sulphate and finally forms a complex.

$C u S O_{4} + Z n \to C u + Z n S O_{4 (a q)} \to [Z n (H_{2} O)_{4}] S O_{4}$
