NEET Chemistry (general) Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 11
Assertion (A): In the reaction between C6H5CHO and [Ag(NH3)2]+, silver is reduced to its elemental form.
Reason (R): C6H5CHO is oxidized to C6H5COO- in this redox reaction.
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 reaction C6H5CHO + 2[Ag(NH3)2]+ + 3OH- → C6H5COO- + 2Ag + 4NH3 + 2H2O, Ag+ is reduced to Ag, and C6H5CHO is oxidized to C6H5COO-. The reason correctly explains the assertion.
