Assertion The reaction of zinc with hydrochloric acid goes to completion in an open container. Reason Hydrogen gas is evolved from the reaction of zinc and hydrochloric acid.

  • A. Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement
  • B. Both the Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct and Statement 2 is not the correct explanation of Statement 1.
  • C. statement 1 is correct but Statement 2 is not correct
  • D. Statement 1 is not correct but Statement 2 is correct

Step-by-step solution

The reaction Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2 produces hydrogen gas. In an open container, H2 escapes, removing product and shifting equilibrium right, causing completion. Thus both statements are correct and reason explains assertion.
