Assertion : O_2 ~F_2 converts Pu to PuF_6 . Reason : O_2 ~F_2 is...

Assertion : O2 F2\mathrm{O}_2 \mathrm{~F}_2 converts Pu\mathrm{Pu} to PuF6\mathrm{PuF}_6. Reason : O2 F2\mathrm{O}_2 \mathrm{~F}_2 is used to remove unreacted Pu\mathrm{Pu} from nuclear reaction.

Options

  1. AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
  2. BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
  3. CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
  4. 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.

Step-by-step solution

Pu+3O2 F2⟶PuF6+3O2\mathrm{Pu}+3 \mathrm{O}_2 \mathrm{~F}_2 \longrightarrow \mathrm{PuF}_6+3 \mathrm{O}_2; unreacted Pu\mathrm{Pu} is separated by fluorination.
