MCQ
For question two statements are given $-$ one labelled Assertion $(A)$ and the other labelled Reason $(R)$. Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes $\ce{(a), (b), (c)}$ and $(d)$ as given below :
Assertion : Baking soda is prepared by chlor $-$ alkali process.
Reason : Brine decomposes to sodium hydroxide on passing electricity through it.
  • A
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true, and $R$ is correct explanation of the assertion.
  • B
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true, but $R$ is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
  • C
    $A$ is true, but $R$ is false.
  • $A$ is false, but $R$ is true.

Answer

Correct option: D.
$A$ is false, but $R$ is true.
Caustic soda $($sodium hydroxide, $\ce{NaOH})$ is prepared by chlor $-$ alkali process. Brine decomposes to sodium hydroxide. Chlorine gas is formed at the anode and hydrogen gas at the cathode. Sodium hydroxide solution is formed near the cathode.
