Explosive Decomposition Matches
This question requires matching explosive substances from LIST-I with their respective decomposition product reactions provided in LIST-II, following principles related to Kistiakowsky-Wilson rules.
Explosive Substance Decomposition Analysis
We systematically match each explosive substance to its corresponding reaction:
| LIST-I (Explosive Substance) | LIST-II (Decomposition Reaction) | Match |
|---|---|---|
| A. EGDN | IV. $C_2H_4N_2O_6 \rightarrow 2CO_2+2H_2O+N_2$ | A-IV |
| B. RDX | I. $C_3H_6N_6O_6 \rightarrow 3CO+3H_2O+3N_2$ | B-I |
| C. HMX | III. $C_4H_8N_8O_8 \rightarrow 4CO+4H_2O+4N_2$ | C-III |
| D. PETN | II. $C_5H_8N_4O_{12} \rightarrow 2CO+3CO_2+4H_2O+2N_2$ | D-II |
Final Answer Compilation
The derived matches are A-IV, B-I, C-III, and D-II. This combination corresponds to the correct option.
