For the reaction, c + o (2) to C O ...

For the reaction,
`c + o _(2) to C O _(2) , DeltaH = -3 9 3 j , 2 Z n + O_(2) to 2 Z n O , H = -4 1 2 J`
Which of is correct ?

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 .
