Assertion (A): For rust formation to take place, iron must be exposed to air and water for some time.
Reason (R): Rust is a reddish brown substance formed on the surface of iron.
- 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
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation — Assertion is correct as iron rusts only when both oxygen (air) and water are present for some time. Reason is also true as rust is a reddish-brown substance (hydrated iron(III) oxide). However, R just describes rust; it does not explain why air and water are needed for rusting.
Therefore, Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A is the correct option.
