Chemistry
Assertion (A): Chloride can be tested by adding concentrated sulphuric acid to it. A colourless gas with a pungent odour is evolved.
Reason (R): The gas formed is chlorine.
- 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.
Answer
A is true but R is false.
Explanation— The presence of chloride ion can be tested by adding concentrated sulphuric acid. It is observed that the colourless HCl gas of pungent odour is evolved. Hence, the assertion (A) is true.
The colourless gas evolved in the above reaction is HCl. Hence, the reason (R) is false.
