1.	Assertion . Magnesium can be obtained by the electrolysis of aqueous MgCl_(2). Reason. The electrode potential of Mg^(2+) is far higher than that of H_(2)O.
Answer» If both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the true EXPLANATION of the assertion. If both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the true explanation of the assertion. If assertion is true, but reason is false If both assertion and reason are false. Solution :Correct explanation . Mg can be obtained by the electrolysis of FUSED `MgCl_(2)`. Correct reason . The ELECTRODE potential of `Mg^(2+)` is far lower `(-2*36V)` than that of `H_(2)O` (-0.083V)`
