Carbon undergoes partial combustion with oxygen to form which neutral oxide?
ASulphur dioxide
BCarbon dioxide
CCarbon monoxide
DNitrogen dioxide
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Carbon monoxide
1. Complete combustion of carbon gives CO2, which is acidic.
2. Partial combustion of carbon gives CO, which is neutral.
3. The neutral oxide formed by partial combustion is carbon monoxide.
4. Carbon dioxide is acidic, not neutral, so it does not fit the question.
