Assertion (A): Rayon is a semi synthetic polymer and is taken as a better choice than cotton fabric.
Reason (R): Mechanical and aesthetic properties of cellulose can be improved by acetylation.
Assertion (A): Rayon is a semi synthetic polymer and is taken as a better choice than cotton fabric.
Reason (R): Mechanical and aesthetic properties of cellulose can be improved by acetylation.
Assertion:
Rayon, also known as cellulose acetate, is a semi-synthetic polymer that has superior properties to natural cotton fibre.
Due to this, it is taken as a better choice than cotton fibre.
Hence, the assertion is a correct statement.
Reason:
The mechanical and aesthetic properties of cellulose can be improved by acetylation. Hence, Rayon, a product of acetylation of cellulose, has better properties than cotton.
Hence, the reason is a correct statement.
Both the assertion and the reason are correct statements, and the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion.
So, option (b) is the correct answer.
