Chemistry-Balancing Redox Reactions
NEET Chemistry Balancing Redox Reactions Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 11
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.
A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true but R is false.
D
A is false.
Correct Answer
Option A
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.
