6
In which of the following reactions can the oxidation number of the nitrogen be said to have increased?
A
2NO(g) + O2(g) → 2NO2(g)
B
NO(g) + Cl2(g) → NOCl2(l)
C

7
2H2 + O22 → H2+O ΔH = -571kJ
In the equation above, how much heat will be liberated if 12.0g of hydrogen is burnt in excess oxygen?
A
-1142 kJ
B
-571 kJ
C
+1142 kJ
D
-1713 kJ
CORRECT OPTION: d
2H2 + O22 → H2+O ΔH = -571kJ
4.0g of Hydrogen burn in air to produce -571 kJ
∴ 12.0s of Hydrogen will burn in air to produce
(12 * -571)/4 = -1713kJ
