JAMB Chemistry 2018 Paper

Question : 21

Total: 87

Solution:

Concept:

Identify the pair in which both substances can be further oxidized by oxygen to higher oxides.

Explanation:

\mathrm{SO_2}

reacts with oxygen to form sulfur trioxide:

2\mathrm{SO_2} + \mathrm{O_2} \rightarrow 2\mathrm{SO_3}

\mathrm{NO}

reacts with oxygen to form nitrogen dioxide:

2\mathrm{NO} + \mathrm{O_2} \rightarrow 2\mathrm{NO_2}

The other options contain substances like

\mathrm{CO_2}

and

\mathrm{H_2O}

, which are already fully oxidized or cannot readily form higher oxides with oxygen.

Answer:

\mathrm{SO_2}

and

\mathrm{NO}
