NEET Chemistry Balancing Redox Reactions Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): In a redox reaction, balancing the number of atoms is sufficient to balance the equation. | Reason (R): Balancing redox reactions requires ensuring the conservation of both mass and charge.
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.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Balancing a redox reaction requires ensuring the conservation of both mass and charge, not just the number of atoms. This distinction is crucial in redox reactions where electrons are transferred.
