Consider the following reactions,
a. C2H4 + 3O2→ X + 2H2O
b. 4Al+ 3O2 → Z
X and Z are respectively-
1. X = 1 mole of CO2; Z = 4 moles of Al2O3
2. X = 2 moles of ethanoic acid; Z = 2 moles of AlO3
3. X = 2 moles of CO2; Z = 2 moles of Al2O3
4. X = 2 moles of ethanoic acid; Z = 4 moles of Al2O3
Assertion (A): | O3 acts as a powerful oxidizing agent. |
Reason (R): | Ozone decomposes readily on heating to give a molecule of oxygen and nascent oxygen. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is true but (R) is false. |
4. | (A) is false but (R) is true. |
