Question

Which of the following is correct statement?

• A. High temperature, low pressure are the favourable conditions for the manufacture of sulfuric acid by the contact process
• B. Moist sulfur dioxide behaves as an oxidizing agent
• C. Noble gases are easily soluble in water
• D. Noble gases have positive electron gain enthalpies

Hint:

When dealing with noble gases, remember that they have full outer electron shells and tend to not gain electrons easily.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

- The correct statement is that noble gases have positive electron gain enthalpies. This is true because noble gases are very stable and do not easily gain electrons. - The other statements are incorrect. For example, in the contact process, high temperature and high pressure are used to manufacture sulfuric acid.
