Assertion (A) : On adding zinc pieces to FeCl3(aq){FeCl}_3(a q) solution, colour changes from deep yellow to light green.

Reason (R) : Aqueous FeCl3{FeCl}_3 solution is acidic and on adding zinc, nascent hydrogen is produced which reduces deep yellow mFeCl3m{FeCl}_3 solution to light green FeCl2{FeCl}_2 solution.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Both A\mathbf{A} and R\mathbf{R} are true and R\mathbf{R} is the correct explanation of A\mathbf{A}.
The correct answer is A (Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A) because zinc reduces FeCl3FeCl_3 to FeCl2FeCl_2, causing the color change, and the nascent hydrogen produced facilitates this reduction.
