For the reaction, `C+O_(2)rarrCO_(2)`, `DeltaH=-393 J`
`2Zn+O_(2) rarr 2ZnO`, `DeltaH=-412J`

A

carbon can oxidise zinc

B

oxidation of carbon is not possible

C

oxidation of zinc is not fessible

D

zinc can oxidise carbon.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Zinc can lose electrons (O.S. of Zn chagnes from 0 to+2) and carbon can gain electrons (O.S. of C change from 0 to-4). Hence zinc is oxidised by carbon .
