Assertion : Calcium sulphate hemihydrate, $\text{CaSO}_4.\frac{1}{2}\text{H}_2\text{O}$ is called plaster of Paris.
Reason : Plaster of Paris is used for producing moulds for pottery and ceramics and casts of statues.
  • A
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true, and $R$ is correct explanation of the assertion.
  • Both $A$ and $R$ are true, but $R$ is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
  • C
    $A$ is true, but $R$ is false.
  • D
    $A$ is false, but $R$ is true.

Answer

Correct option: B.

Assertion: ln the reaction, $\text{Zn}_\text{(s)}+ 2\text{H}^+_{\text{(aq)}}\rightarrow\text{Zn}^{2+}_{\text{(aq)}} + \text{H}_{2_\text{(g)}}$ zinc acts as an oxidising agent and $H^+$ acts as a reducing agent.
Reason: An oxidising agent accepts electrons while a reducing agent loses electrons.
