At room temperature, the reaction between NO and O 2 is given N O 2 is fast, while that between CO and O 2 is slower it is due to
Options
- ACO is smaller in size than that of NO
- BCO is poisonous
- CThe activation energy for the reactions 2 N O + O 2 → 2 N O 2 is less then 2 C O + O 2 → 2 C O 2
- DNone of these
Correct answer
C. The activation energy for the reactions 2 N O + O 2 → 2 N O 2 is less then 2 C O + O 2 → 2 C O 2
Step-by-step solution
As The activation energy for the reactions 2 N O + O 2 → 2 N O 2 is less then 2 C O + O 2 → 2 C O 2 so NO reacts fast and CO reacts slowly. Rate of reaction ∝ 1 A c t i v a t i o n e n e r g y .
