NEET Chemistry Balancing Redox Reactions Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): In the reaction between permanganate ions and iodide ions, the balancing of the half-reactions involves equalizing the electrons transferred.
Reason (R): The number of electrons lost in the oxidation half-reaction must equal the number gained in the reduction half-reaction for the overall redox reaction to be balanced.
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.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In the NCERT context, balancing redox reactions involves equalizing electrons in the half-reactions, as shown in the example with permanganate and iodide ions.
