Assertion : Sulphur is oxidised by $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2$ in presence of $\mathrm{Fe}$ (III).
Reason : Fe (III) oxidises sulphur to sulphate.
- Correct answerAIf 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.
Solution
$\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2$ oxidises sulphur to sulphate in presence of $\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}$ ions.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
