Assertion :Iron(III) catalyses the reaction between iodide and persulphate ions. Reason: Transition metals act as catalysts.
Assertion – The non-fusible impurities present in iron ore are removed by CaCO3 .
Reason: CaCO3 which decomposes into CaO and CO2. The CaO formed reacts with SiO2 to remove silica
Assertion (A) The enthalpy of reaction remains constant in the presence of a catalyst.
Reason (R) A catalyst participating in the reaction forms different activated complex and lowers down the activation energy but the difference in enrgy of reactant and product remains the same.
(a) Both assertion and reason are correct and the reason is correct explanation of assertion (b) Both assertion and reason are correct, but reason does not explain assertion. (c) Assertion is correct, but reason is incorrect (d) Both assertion and reason are incorrect (e) Assertion is incorrect but reason is correct.
