For the reactions:

\mathrm{C} + {\mathrm{O}_2} \to \mathrm{C}{\mathrm{O}_2};\Delta H = - 393\mathrm{kJ}

2\mathrm{Zn} + {\mathrm{O}_2} \to 2\mathrm{ZnO};\Delta H = - 412\mathrm{kJ}

which one is correct?

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

Carbon can reduce ZnO to Zn

Option D (Zn liberates more heat than carbon during oxidation) is correct because the absolute value of ∆H for the oxidation of Zn is greater than that of carbon.
