NEET2007ChemistryElectrochemistryActual
Assertion : Copper sulphate solution is not stored in zinc vessel. Reason : Zinc forms complex with ( CuSO ₄ ).
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
