NEET Chemistry Galvanic Cells Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The corrosion of iron involves both oxidation and reduction reactions. | Reason (R): In the corrosion process, Fe(s) is oxidized to Fe²⁺ and O₂(g) is reduced in the presence of H⁺ ions.
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
Assertion (A) is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Corrosion of iron involves the oxidation of Fe to Fe²⁺ and the reduction of O₂ in the presence of H⁺, demonstrating both oxidation and reduction reactions.
