Answer
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation — The yellow colour of nitric acid is removed by bubbling carbon dioxide gas or dry air into it. Hence, the assertion (A) is true.
The yellow colour will disappear because carbon dioxide gas or dry air drive out NO2 gas from the warm nitric acid. Hence, the reason (R) is true.
Reason (R) explains how the use of carbon dioxide and dry air turn yellow colour nitric acid into a colourless compound. Hence, reason (R) is a correct explanation of assertion (A).
