Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): In a reaction \(\mathrm{Zn}(5)+\mathrm{CuSO}_{4}(\mathrm{aq}) \rightarrow \mathrm{ZnSO}_{4}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{Cu}(5)\), Zn is a reductant but itself gets oxidized.
Reason (R): In a redox reaction, oxidant is reduced by accepting electrons and reductant is oxidised by losing electrons.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
- (A) is correct but (R) is not correct
- (A) is not correct but (R) is correct
- Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
- Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (R)
Answer
(C) Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
