Ncert Exercises & Solutions

Assertion (A):	Copper sulphate can be stored in a zinc vessel.
Reason (R):	Zinc is less reactive than copper.

1.	Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2.	Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3.	(A) is true but (R) is false.
4.	Both (A) and (R) are false.

Hint: Zn will reduce Cu

Copper sulphate can’t be stored in zinc vessel as zinc is more reactive than copper due to the negative value of standard

reduction potential of Zn.

Hence, both assertion and reason are false.
