Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct. NO−2 ions can be detected in the presence of No−3 ions as.
Also, both NO−2 and NO−3 ions are confirmed by brown ring test. Brown ring test is performed, by adding Iron(II)sulphate to a solution of a nitrate. Then slowly adding concentrated H2SO4 such that the acid forms a layer below the aqueous solution.
