Assertion (A): Sulphur present in an organic compound can be estimated quantitatively by Carius method.
Reason (R): Sulphur is separated easily from other atoms in the molecule and gets precipitated as light yellow solid.
- 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 A.
- Both A and R are not correct.
- A is not correct but R is correct.
- Both A and R are not correct.
Explanation:
Sulphur is estimated by Carius method in the form of white precipitate of BaSO4 on heating with fuming and BaCl2.If light yellow solid is obtained means impurities are present. It is filtered washed and then dried to get pure BaSO4.
