- The Assertion and the Reason are correct but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.
- Assertion is true but the Reason is false
- The statement of the Assertion is false but the Reason is true.
Reason: The valency of Al is 3 and charge on SO42-.
- Both the Assertion and the Reason are correct and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
Explanation:
Al2 (SO4)3 is commonly known as aluminium sulphate.
There is two aluminium atom in aluminium sulphate, and because of this, the total valency of the formula is 6+.
Aluminium make positively charged ions, which makes the sulphate to have negatively charged ions.
Therefore, the valency of sulphate will be 2- and aluminium is 3+ in aluminium sulphate.
