    Which of the following involves a redox reaction?

    A) Reaction of \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]with \[NaOH.\]

    B) Production of ozone from oxygen in the atmosphere by lightening.

    C) Production of nitrogen oxides from nitrogen and oxygen in the atmosphere by lightening.

    D) Evaporation of water.

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[2NaOH+{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow{{}}N{{a}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}+2{{H}_{2}}O\]
    It is neutralization, not redox reaction.
    \[3{{\overset{0}{\mathop{O}}\,}_{2}}\xrightarrow{Light}2{{\overset{0}{\mathop{O}}\,}_{3}}\]
    It is not a not redox reaction since it does not involue oxidation or reduction.
    \[{{\overset{0}{\mathop{N}}\,}_{2}}+{{\overset{0}{\mathop{O}}\,}_{2}}\xrightarrow{Light}2\overset{+2-2}{\mathop{NO}}\,\]
    Here oxidation of \[{{\operatorname{N}}_{2}}\]and reduction of \[{{\operatorname{O}}_{2}}\] is taking place. It is a redox reaction.
    \[{{H}_{2}}O\left( 1 \right)\xrightarrow{\Delta }{{H}_{2}}O\left( g \right)\]
    It is not a redox reaction, since it does not involve oxidation and reduction.
