Assertion :A ...

Question

Assertion :A reaction between $F e$ and $I_{2}$ occurs but a reaction between ${F e}^{2 +}$ and $I^{⊖}$ does not occur. Reason: $F e$ is a better reducing agent than $I^{⊖}$ .

Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion

Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
The reactions are as follows:
$I_{2} + F e ⟶ {F e}^{2 +} + 2 I^{⊖}$
$I^{⊖} + {F e}^{2 +} ⟶$ No reaction
The oxidation potential of $F e / {F e}^{2 +}$ is greater than the oxidation potential of $2 I^{⊖} / I_{2}$ .
Hence, the first reaction occurs while second does not.
