Question
Match Column I with Column II:<br><br>Column I (Reaction):<br>(A) C(s) + 1/2 $O_2$(g) β $CO$(g)<br>(B) $CO$(g) + 1/2 $O_2$(g) β $CO_2$(g)<br>(C) $NaOH$(aq) + $HCl$(aq) β $NaCl$(aq) + $H_2O$(l)<br>(D) $H_2$(g) + 1/2 $O_2$(g) β $H_2O$(l)<br><br>Column II (Process):<br>(P) Combustion<br>(Q) Neutralization<br>(R) Process of formation<br>(S) Used in fuel cell
π‘ Solution & Explanation
(A) represents standard formation of $CO$(g) from its elements (R). (B) is the combustion of $CO$(g) (P). (C) is standard strong acid-strong base neutralization (Q). (D) represents both hydrogen combustion (P) and is the core chemical process in fuel cells (S).
