The standard enthalpies of formation (Δ_fH°) of three binary oxides are: N₂O₅ : -11.3 kJ mol\(^{-1}\); P₄O₁₀ : -2984 kJ mol\(^{-1}\); SO₃ : -395.7 kJ mol\(^{-1}\). For each oxide (i) write the balanced reduction reaction to the element and O₂(g), (ii) calculate the enthalpy change per mole of O₂ released, and (iii) state which oxide is the strongest oxidising agent on a per‑O₂ basis.

Answer Options

A. CO₂ (carbon dioxide) is the strongest oxidising agent per O₂ released.
B. SO₃ (sulfur trioxide) is the strongest oxidising agent per O₂ released.
Correct Answer C. P₄O₁₀ (phosphorus pentoxide) is the strongest oxidising agent per O₂ released.
D. N₂O₅ (dinitrogen pentoxide) is the strongest oxidising agent per O₂ released.
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
P₄O₁₀ (phosphorus pentoxide) is the strongest oxidising agent per O₂ released.
