Assertion: Rayon is a semisynthetic polymer whose properties are better than natural cotton. Reason: Mechanical and aesthetic properties of cellulose can be improved by acetylation.

Options

  1. ABoth assertion and reason are correct, but the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion.
  2. BBoth assertion and reason are correct, and the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion.
  3. CAssertion in incorrect statement, but the reason is correct.
  4. DBoth assertion and reason are incorrect.

Correct answer

B. Both assertion and reason are correct, and the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion.

Step-by-step solution

The strength of cellulose is improved by acetylation and then used for making packing material. Rayon (semisyntehtic polymer of cellulose) has superior properties than natural cotton.
