Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R. Assertion A: Permanganate titrations are not performed in presence of hydrochloric acid. Reason R: Chlorine is formed as a consequence of oxidation of hydrochloric acid. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

Question

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R. Assertion A: Permanganate titrations are not performed in presence of hydrochloric acid. Reason R: Chlorine is formed as a consequence of oxidation of hydrochloric acid. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below (A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A (B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A (C) A is true but R is false (D) A is false but R is true

2 KMnO 4+16 HCl arrow 2 MnCl 2+2 KCl +8 H 2 O + Cl 2 HCl gets oxidised by KMnO 4 into Cl 2

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

A is true but R is false

A is false but R is true

2KMnO4​+16HCl→2MnCl2​+2KCl+8H2​O+Cl2​ HCl gets oxidised by KMnO4​ into Cl2​

$2 K M n O_{4} + 16 H Cl \to 2 M n C l_{2} + 2 K Cl + 8 H_{2} O + C l_{2}$
$H Cl$ gets oxidised by $K M n O_{4}$ into $C l_{2}$
