In the stem-
- i. the reaction of solutions A and B is a non-redox reaction
- ii. adding solution A to a Cu²⁺ solution gives a light blue precipitate
- iii. the salt formed from A and B is acidic
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a i and ii
- b i and iii
- c ii and iii
- d i, ii and iii
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: d i, ii and iii
All three are true: it is a neutralization, so non-redox (i); Cu²⁺ + OH⁻ gives light blue Cu(OH)₂↓ (ii); NH₄Cl is an acidic salt (iii).
Why the other options are wrong
- a i and ii: i and ii are true, but iii is left out: NH₄Cl is the salt of a weak base and a strong acid, so it is acidic.
- b i and iii: i and iii are true, but ii is left out: ammonia solution supplies OH⁻, so it gives a light blue Cu(OH)₂ precipitate with Cu²⁺.
- c ii and iii: ii and iii are true, but i is left out: NH₃ + HCl → NH₄Cl has no electron transfer; it is a neutralization, non-redox.
