Question

Assertion `(A)`: Pink coloured solution of potassium permanganate turns green on passing `O_3` through it.
Reason `(R)` :`K_2MnO_4` is oxidised by `O_3` to `KMnO_4`.
A. If both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
B. If both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
C. If (A) is correct, but (R) is incorrect.
D. If (A) is incorrect, but (R) is correct.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - D
`KMnO_(4)` is a stronger oxidising agent as compared to `O_(3)` and hence is not oxidised by `O_(3)`.
