Question

Assertion (A): In the titration of Fe^2+ with KMnO4, dilute nitric acid is not used to acidify the solution. Reason (R): Nitric acid is a reducing agent and would reduce MnO4^- before it reacts with Fe^2+.

Accepted Answer

Assertion is true but Reason is false

Answer

Both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion

Answer

Both Assertion and Reason are true but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion

Answer

Assertion is false but Reason is true

Assertion (A): In the titration of $Fe X^{2 +}$ with $KMnO X_{4}$ , dilute nitric acid is not used to acidify the solution. Reason (R): Nitric acid is a reducing agent and would reduce $MnO X_{4} X^{-}$ before it reacts with $Fe X^{2 +}$ .
