Question
Assertion: Only a small amount of \[\ce{HCl}\] is required in the reduction of nitro compounds with iron scrap and \[\ce{HCl}\] in the presence of steam.
Reason: \[\ce{FeCl2}\] formed gets hydrolysed to release \[\ce{HCl}\] during the reaction.
Options
Both assertion and reason are wrong.
Both assertion and reason are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation of assertion.
Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
Both assertion and reason are correct statements and reason is correct explanation of assertion.
Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.
Solution
Both assertion and reason are correct statements and reason is correct explanation of assertion.
Explanation:
\[\ce{Fe + 2HCl ->FeCl2 + 2[H] FeCl2 + H2O(g) -> FeO + 2HCl}\]
