Match List I with List II.

LIST I
Reaction
LIST II
Type of redox reaction
A. $$
\mathrm{N}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}+\mathrm{O}_{2(\mathrm{~g})} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{NO}_{(\mathrm{g})}
$$
I. Decomposition
B. $$
2 \mathrm{~Pb}\left(\mathrm{NO}_3\right)_{2(\mathrm{~s})} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{PbO}_{(\mathrm{s})}+4 \mathrm{NO}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}+\mathrm{O}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}
$$
II. Displacement
C. $$
2 \mathrm{Na}_{(\mathrm{s})}+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_{(\mathrm{l})} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{NaOH}_{(\mathrm{aq} .)}+\mathrm{H}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}
$$
III. Disproportionation
D. $$
2 \mathrm{NO}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}+2^{-} \mathrm{OH}(\text { aq. }) \rightarrow \mathrm{NO}_{2(\mathrm{aq} .)}^{-}+\mathrm{NO}_{3(\text { aq. })}^{-}+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_{(\mathrm{l})}
$$
IV. Combination

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A (A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(III) Correct answer
  2. B (A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)
  3. C (A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(IV), (D)-(I)
  4. D (A)-(III), (B)-(II), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV)

Solution

<p>(A) $$\stackrel{\circ}{\mathrm{N}}_2+\stackrel{\circ}{\mathrm{O}}_2 \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{NO}_{(\mathrm{g})}$$</p> <p>Combination reaction</p> <p>(B) $$2 \mathrm{~Pb}\left(\mathrm{NO}_3\right)_{2(\mathrm{~s})} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{PbO}+4 \mathrm{NO}_2+\mathrm{O}_2$$</p> <p>Decomposition reaction</p> <p>(C) $$2 \mathrm{Na}_{(\mathrm{s})}+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{I}) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{NaOH}_{(\mathrm{aq})}+\mathrm{H}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}$$</p> <p>Displacement reaction</p> <p>(D) $$2 \mathrm{NO}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}+2 \mathrm{OH}_{(\mathrm{g})}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{NO}_{2 \text { (aq) }}^{-}+\mathrm{NO}_{3(\text { (qq) }}^{-}+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$$</p> <p>Nitrogen oxidises and reduces both. So it is a disproportionation reaction.</p> <p>$$\mathrm{A} \rightarrow(\mathrm{IV}), \mathrm{B} \rightarrow(\mathrm{I}), \mathrm{C} \rightarrow(\mathrm{II}), \mathrm{D} \rightarrow(\mathrm{III})$$</p>
