48. (D) 50. (A)
Sol. Here, assertion is false, because stannous Sol. Both assertion and reason are true and
chloiride is a strong reducing agent not reason is the correct explanation of
strong oxidising agent. Stannous chlorides assertion.
gives Grey precipitate with mercuric Oxidation loss of 2e
chloride. Hence, reason is true. 2+ 2+
Zn(s)+Cu (aq) Zn (aq)+Cu(s)
49. (B) Reduction gain of 2e
Sol. Both assertion and reason are true but
reason is not the correct explanation of
assertion. Greater the number of negative
atoms present in the oxy-acid make the
acid stronger. In general, the strengths of
acids that have general formula (HO)m ZOn
can be related to the value of n . As the
value of n increases, acidic character also
increases. The negative atoms draw
electrons away from the Z-atom and make
it more positive. The Z-atom, therefore,
becomes more effective in with drawing
electron density away from the oxygen
atom that bonded to hydrogen. in turn, the
electrons of H O bond are drawn more
strongly away from the H -atom. The net
effect makes it easier from the proton
release and increases the acid strength.
