Assertion :Copper sulfate can also be produced by slowly leaching low grade copper ore in air. Reason: Bacteria may be used to hasten the process.

Q.

Assertion – The non-fusible impurities present in iron ore are removed by $CaC{O}_3$ .

Reason: $CaC{O}_3$ which decomposes into $CaO$ and $C{O}_2$. The $CaO$ formed reacts with $Si{O}_2$ to remove silica

Q. Assertion: The compressibility factor for $H_2$​ and $He$ is $(1+\frac{Pb}{RT})$
Reason: The compressibility factor for $H_2$​ and $He$ can be derived from Van der Waal's equation.

Q. Assertion
If BOD level of water in reservoir is less than 5 ppm it is not polluted.

Reason
High biological oxygen demand means low activity of bacteria in water.

Q. Assertion: The impurities such as ${\text{SiO}}_2$ present in iron ore is removed by ${\text{CaCO}}_3$.

Reason: $\text{CaO}$ formed by decomposition of ${\text{CaCO}}_3$ reacts with ${\text{SiO}}_2$ to form slag.

Q.

Assertion (A) Order of the reaction can be zero or fractional.

Reason (R) We cannot determine order from balanced chemical equation.

(a) Both assertion and reason are correct and the reason is correct explanation of assertion
(b) Both assertion and reason are correct, but reason does not explain assertion.
(c) Assertion is correct, but reason is incorrect
(d) Both assertion and reason are incorrect
(e) Assertion is incorrect but reason is correct.
