Question

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R

Assertion (A) : Reaction of conc. \(H_2SO_4\) on \(NaBr\) and \(NaI\) does not give \(HBr\) and \(HI\).

Reason (R) : \(HBr\) and \(HI\) are oxidised by conc. HSO to Br and I.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

• A. If both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion
• B. If both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion
• C. If Assertion is true, but Reason is false
• D. If both Assertion and Reason are false

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

$ H _{2} SO _{4}$ when react with $NaBr$ and $Nal$, give out $Br _{2}$ and $I _{2}$ as concentrated $H _{2} SO _{4}$ is a strong oxidising agent.
