NEET Chemistry Redox Reactions Assertion Reason Question
Assertion: Zinc displaces copper from copper sulphate solution. Reason : The E° at 298 K of Zn is –0.76 V and that of Cu is +0.34 V.
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.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Zinc can displace copper from copper sulphate solution because zinc has a lower reduction potential than copper, making the reaction spontaneous.
