C

`H_(2(g)) and O_(2(g))` have higher temperature than water

The formation of the oxide ion O^(2-) (g) requires first an exothermic and then an endothermic step as shown below : O (g) + e^(-)= O^(-) (g), DeltaH^(@) = - 142 kJ moI^(-1) O(g)+e^(-)toO^(2-)(g),DeltaH^(@)=844kJmol^(-1) This is because

The formation of the oxide ion O_(g)^(2-) requires first an exothermic and then an endothermic step as shown below: O_(g)+e^(-) rarr O_(g)^(-) , DeltaH=-142 kJ mol^(-1) O(g)+e rarr O_(g)^(2-) , DeltaH=844kJ mol^(-1) This is because:

The value of DeltaH_(O-H) is 109 kcal mol^(-1) . Then formation of one mole of water in gaseous state from H(g) and O(g) is accompanied by

Assertion: The formation of F_((g))^(-) from F_((g)) is exothermic, whereas that of O_((g))^(2-) from O_((g)) is endotherrmic. Reason: The addition of second electron to a monovalent anion is difficult because both have the same charge and experience more repulsion.

The reaction 2NO_(2)(g) hArr N_(2)O_(4)(g) is an exothermic equilibrium . This means that:

Assertion: pH of water increases on increasing temperature. Reason: H_(2)O rarr H^(+) + OH^(-) is an exothermic process.

For the process, H_(2)O(l) to H_(2)O(g)

The formation of oxide ion O^(2-)(g) from oxygen atom requires first an exothermic and then an endothermic step as shown below O(g)+e^(-) rarr O^(-)(g), DeltaH^(-) = - 141 kj mol^(-1) O^(-)(g) +e^(-) rarr O^(2-) (g), DeltaH^(-) =+ 780 kj mol^(-1) Thus, process of formation of O^(2-) in gas phase is unfavourable even through O^(2-) is isoelectronic with neon. It is due to the fact that m

The reactions between H_(2)(g) and O_(2)(g) is highly feasuble yet allowing the gases to stand at room tempertaure in the same vessel does not lead to the formation of water . Explain

The electrolysis of a solution resulted in the formation of H_2 (g) at the cathode and Cl_(2) (g) at anode. The solution is :
