Assertion : Fe ( OH )₃ and As ₂ ~S ₃ colloidal sols on mixing precipitate. Reason : Fe ( OH )₃ and As ₂ ~S ₃ combine and form precipitate of new composition.
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
C. If assertion is true but reason is false.
Step-by-step solution
On mixing Fe ( OH )₃ (+ve sol) and As ₂ ~S ₃ (-ve sol), mutual coagulation occurs which causes precipitation. No new compound is formed.
