Question

Assertion: Raney Ni is used as a catalyst in Sabatier senderens reaction.
Reason: Due to large surface area Raney Ni has high catalytic activity.

• A. The Assertion and Reason are correct, Reason is correct explanation of Assertion
• B. The Assertion and Reason are correct, Reason is not correct explanation of Assertion
• C. Assertion is true but Reason is false
• D. Assertion is false but Reason is true

Answer 1

The correct option is A The Assertion and Reason are correct, Reason is correct explanation of Assertion

Sabatier senderens reaction: $C_n{H}_{2n}+H_2\to C_n{H}_{2n+2}+heat$
By reduction of alkene and alkyne in presence of Ni alkane is formed in this process. Here, Raney $Ni$ is used as a catalyst and due to the large surface area, Raney $Ni$ has high catalytic activity.
