Easy MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2020

The redox reaction among the following is :

  1. A reaction of H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> with NaOH.
  2. B formation of ozone form atmosphere oxygen in the presence of sunlight.
  3. C combination of dinitrogen with dioxygen at 2000 K Correct answer
  4. D reaction of [Co(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>6</sub>]Cl<sub>3</sub> With AgNO<sub>3</sub>

Solution

N<sub>2</sub> + O<sub>2</sub> $\to$ 2NO <br><br>during the reaction, oxidation of nitrogen take place from 0 to 2 and reduction of oxygen take place from 0 to –2. It means this reaction is redox reaction. <br><br>3O<sub>2</sub> $\to$ 2O<sub>3</sub> (Non - redox reaction) <br><br>2NaOH + H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> $\to$ Na<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> + 2H<sub>2</sub>O (neutralization reaction) <br><br>[Co(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>6</sub>]Cl<sub>3</sub> + 3AgNO<sub>3</sub> $\to$ 3AgCl $\downarrow$ + [Co(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>6</sub>](NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>3</sub> <br><br>Reaction of [CO(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>6</sub>]Cl<sub>3</sub> with AgNO<sub>3</sub> is not redox reaction. It is a precipitation reaction.
