Electrons are released (by oxidation) at the anode (Zn electrode ) and consumed (by reduction) at the cathode (Cu electrode). Therefore, electrons flow through thewire from anode to cathode, i.e., in all voltaic cells, the electrons flow spontaneously from the negative electrode to the positive electrode.

Assertion: `HClO_(4)` is a stronger acid than `HClO_(3)`. Reason: Oxidation state of `Cl` in `HClO_(4)` is `+VII` and in `HClO_(3)+V`.A. If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explantion of the assertion.C. If assertion is true but reason is false.D. If assertion is false but reason is true.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion. Greater the number of negative atoms present in the oxy-acid make the acid stronger. In general, the strengths of acids that have general formula `(HO)_(m)ZO_(n)` can be related to the value of `n`. As the value of `n` increase, acidic character also increases. The negative atoms draw electrons away from the `Z`- atom and make it more positive. The `Z`-atom, therefore, becomes more effective in withdrawing electron density away from the oxygen atom that bonded to hydrogen, in turn the electrons of `H-O` bond are drawn more strongly away from the `H`- atom. The net effect makes it easier from the proton release and increases the acid strength.
