Answer the following questions using the data given below:
1.
Assertion: | The corrosion of iron is referred to as rusting. |
Reason: | In the presence of water and air, iron corrodes. |
2.
Assertion: | In a reaction \(Zn\)(s) + \(CuSO_4\)(aq) → \(ZnSO_4\)(aq) + \(Cu\)(s); Although Zn is a reductant, it is oxidised by itself. |
Reason: | In a redox reaction, the oxidant is reduced by accepting electrons, and the reductant is oxidized by losing electrons. |
