 (A): Decomposition of hydrogen peroxide catalysed by $1^{-}$is a bimolecular first order reaction.
Reason (R): The above reaction take place in two steps, step 1 involves both $H _2 O _2$ and I and so it is bimolecular but order is determined experimentally as 1

(c) $A$ is correct but $R$ is wrong
(d) A is wrong but R is correct
Assertion(A): $NH _3, H _2 O , ROH$ all are examples of Lewis bases.
Reason (R): Molecules with one or more lone pairs of electrons act as Lewis bases.
(a) Both A and R are wrong

Assertion (A) $- Mn ^{2+}$ is more stable than $Mn ^{4+}$
Reason $(R)- Mn ^{2+}\left(3 d^5\right)$ is more stable than $Mn ^{4+}\left(3 d^3\right)$ is due to extra stability of half-filled electronic configuration.
(A): The bond angle (C – O – H) in methanol is reduced to 108.9° from the regular tetra hedral bond angle of 109.5°.
Reason (R): In methanol, two lone pairs of electrons are present in oxygen atom and due to lone pair – lone pair repulsion, the bond angle is reduced.

(d) A is wrong but R is correct.
Assertion(A): The addition of sodium acetate to acetic acid solution leads to the suppression in the dissociation of acetic acid.
Reason (R): This is due to common ion effect. i.e., $CH _3 COOH$ and $CH _3 COONa ^{-}$both contains $CH _3 COO ^{-}$ion as common.
