Statement`:` Heat of combustion are always exothermic.
Explanation `:` Combustio of `N_(2)` to give `NO` is exothermic.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a

`(1)/(2) N_(2)+(1)/(2)O_(2) rarr NO,DeltaH=+ve.`
It is due to high bond energy of `N_(20`. Note this equation does not represent heat of combustion of `N_(2)(` Partial combustion `)`.
