Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
The decrease in surface tension is not responsible for the presence of the carboxylate group at the surface. The presence of $C O O^{-}$ at the surface is due to the micelle formation.

Hence, both assertion and reason are correct but the reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

Q. Assertion: The impurities such as

{SiO}_{2}

present in iron ore is removed by

{CaCO}_{3}

CaO

formed by decomposition of

{CaCO}_{3}

{SiO}_{2}

Assertion – The non-fusible impurities present in iron ore are removed by $C a C O_{3}$ .

Reason: $C a C O_{3}$ which decomposes into $C a O$ and $C O_{2}$ . The $C a O$ formed reacts with $S i O_{2}$ to remove silica
