At room temperature, the reaction between `NO` and `O_(2)` to give `NO_(2)` is fast, while that between `CO` and `O_(2)` is slow. It is due to:

A

`CO` is smaller in size than that of `NO`

B

`CO` is poisonous

C

The activation energy for the reaction,
`2NO+O_(2) rarr 2NO_(2)` is less than
`2CO+O_(2)rarr 2CO_(2)`

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
Reaction having lower energy of activation occurs more fast under similar experimental condition.
