CBSE Class 12-science Answered

Two gases A and B are allotropes. A is paramagnetic and B is diamagnetic. B is a powerful oxidizing agent than A. A is converted to B by silent electrical discharge. A is colorless while B is a pale blue gas. B reacts with blackened lead paintings to make them white. B converts colorless NO gas to brown gas C and A is also formed.  Identify A,B and C and write the reactions involved.

1) A is an oxygen gas which is paramagnetic and B is an ozone gas which is the powerful oxidizing agent than A oxygen.

2) oxygen is converted to ozone by silent electrical discharge to avoid its decomposition.
