Question
Given below are two statements : One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R Assertion A : Permanganate titrations are not performed in presence of hydrochloric acid. Reason R : Chlorine is formed as a consequence of oxidation of hydrochloric acid. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below 4 2 2 2 4 2 (A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A (B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A (C) A is true but R is false (D) A is false but R is true
Answer: D) A IS FALSE BUT R IS TRUE
💡 Solution & Explanation
2KMnO + 16 HCl → 2MnCl + 2KCl + 8H O + Cl HCl gets oxidized by KMnO into Cl . So HCl is not used in the process of titration.
