Assertion: Reaction of `SO_(2)` and `H_(2)S` in the presence of `Fe_(2)O_(3)` catalyst gives elemental sulphur.
Reason: `SO_(2)` is a reducing agent.
A. Both A and R true and R is the correct explanation of A
B. Both A and R true and R is not a correct explanation of A
C. A is true but R is false
D. A is false but R is true
Reason: `SO_(2)` is a reducing agent.
A. Both A and R true and R is the correct explanation of A
B. Both A and R true and R is not a correct explanation of A
C. A is true but R is false
D. A is false but R is true
Correct Answer – B
Reason. `SO_2 +2H_2S .^(Fe_2O_3) 3S + 2H_2O` In this reaction `SO_2` is an oxidising agent and `H_2S` is a reducing agent. However, `SO_2` can also act as a reductant agent.
