Reason is the correct explanation for assertion.
25.
26.
27.

Explanation:
Copper is present below hydrogen therefore hydrogen from HCl cannot be liberated by treating with copper. Hence assertion is false while reason is true.

B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
Explanation:
1 mole of silver = 1g equivalent of silver 1 mole of copper = 2g equivalent of copper We know from Faraday's law of electrolysis that ?The weight of ion deposited on an electrode is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity passes.

(d) (A) is incorrect statement but (R) is correct statement, Correct (A) The IUPAC name of the given compound is 1-(2-propoxy) propane.
31.
(a) Both (A) and (R) are correct, (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
32.
(a) Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.
33.
(c) Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
34.
(a) Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.
35.
(a) Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.
36.
(b) : Gold has higher reduction potential than the given metals. Hence, AuCl3 will react with these metals.
37.
(c) : The cell constant depends upon the distance between the electrodes and their area of cross section.
38.
(b) Fe3+ is more stable than Fe2+. The electronic configuration of Fe3+ has half-filled 'd' orbitals and thus, becomes more stable.
26Fe2+ : 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d6
26Fe3+ : 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d5
39.
(b) La(OH)3 is more basic than La(OH)3. Due to lanthanoid contraction the size of lanthanoid ions decreases regularly with increase in atomic size. As a result of decrease in size their covalent character between lanthanoid ions and OH- ions increase from La+3 to Lu +3. Therefore, the basic character of hydroxide decrease from La(OH)3 to La(OH)3, Thus, Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
40.
(d) Pure water do not conduct electricity becauseit is unionised. Thus, (A) is incorrect but (R) is correct.
