NEETChemistryRedox Reactions
Consider the reactions: (a) 6 CO 2 (g) + 6H 2 O (l) → C 6 H 12 O 6 (aq) + 6O 2 (g) (b) O 3 (g) + H 2 O 2 (l) → H 2 O (l) + 2O 2 (g) Why is it more appropriate to write these reactions as: (i) 6CO 2 (g) + 12H 2 O (l) → C 6 H 12 O 6 (aq) + 6H 2 O (l) + 6O 2 (g) (ii) O 3 (g) + H 2 O 2 (l) → H 2 O (l) + O 2 (g) + O 2 (g)
Options
- ABecause the modified equations conserve mass more accurately.
