Answer:
(b) Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, matter can neither be created nor be destroyed. However, it can be transformed from one form into another. During chemical reactions, atoms or ions are exchanged between reactants to form products. Thus, all the stoichiometric calculations are based on law of conservation of mass.
During redox reactions, one species is oxidized and other species is reduced. This involves electron transfer.
