Chemistry-Balancing Redox Reactions
NEET Chemistry Balancing Redox Reactions Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 11
Assertion (A): In the process of balancing redox reactions, the number of electrons lost in oxidation must equal the number of electrons gained in reduction. | Reason (R): In redox reactions, elements are converted into ions during the balancing process.
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 but R is true.
