Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 11
Assertion (A): In the reaction C6H5CHO(l) + 2[Ag(NH3)2]+(aq) + 3OH-(aq) → C6H5COO-(aq) + 2Ag(s) + 4NH3(aq) + 2H2O(l), the oxidation of C6H5CHO occurs. | Reason (R): The silver ions [Ag(NH3)2]+ are reduced to metallic silver (Ag).
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.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
In the given reaction, C6H5CHO is oxidized to C6H5COO-, and [Ag(NH3)2]+ is reduced to Ag as indicated by the NCERT context.
