Question

Assertion :The reaction, $Xe{O}_3+6H^{+}+9I^{-}⟶Xe+3H_{2}O+3I_3^{-}$ can be studied kinetically by measurement of pressure. Reason: Above reaction is called iodometric reaction.

• A. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
• B. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
• C. Assertion is true but Reason is false
• D. Assertion is false but Reason is true

Answer 1

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Thus,}Xe{O}_3{\text{is oxidising agent while I}}^{-}\text{is reducing agent.}\\ \text{Given reaction can be studied kinetically by measuring pressure.}\\ \text{because}Xe{O}_3\left(s\right)\text{is getting converted into}Xe\left(g\right)\text{and}\\ \text{hence, the overall pressure increases.}\end{array}$
