MCQ
For two statements are given-one labelled Assertion $(A)$ and the other labelled Reason $(R).$ Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes $(a), (b), (c)$ and $(d)$ as given below:
Assertion: $\ce{MnO_2 + 4HCl → MnCl_2 + Cl_2 + 2H_2O,}$ is a redox reaction.
Reason: $\ce{MnO_2}$ oxidises $\ce{HCl}$ to $\ce{Cl_2}$ and gets reduced to $\ce{MnCl_2}$.
Assertion: $\ce{MnO_2 + 4HCl → MnCl_2 + Cl_2 + 2H_2O,}$ is a redox reaction.
Reason: $\ce{MnO_2}$ oxidises $\ce{HCl}$ to $\ce{Cl_2}$ and gets reduced to $\ce{MnCl_2}$.
