Q59.Given below are two statements : Statement I : Upon heating a borax bead dipped in cupric sulphate in a luminous flame, the colour of the bead becomes green. Statement II : The green colour observed is due to the formation of copper(I) metaborate In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below: (1) Both Statement I and Statement II are false (2) Both Statement I and Statement II are true (3) Statement I is false but Statement II is true (4) Statement I is true but Statement II is false
What This Question Tests
This assertion-reasoning question evaluates the understanding of the borax bead test for copper, including the color observed and the chemical species responsible for it under specific conditions.
