RE-NEET 2026 Chemistry Oxidation and Reduction Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
Given below are two statements:
Statement-I: Heating NaCl with concentrated H₂SO₄ and MnO₂ results in oxidation of Mn.
Statement-II: Heating NaI with concentrated H₂SO₄ and MnO₂ results in reduction of Mn. In light of the above statements,
choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
A
Both Statement-I and Statement-II are incorrect.
B
Statement-I is correct but Statement-II is incorrect.
C
Statement-I is incorrect but Statement-II is correct.
D
Both Statement-I and Statement-II are correct.
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
NaCl with H₂SO₄ and MnO₂ does not oxidize Mn. NaI reduces MnO₂ to Mn²⁺, thus reducing Mn.
