Question

In the following reaction 4NH3 + 5O2 -------- 4NO + 6H2O why is it an example of displacement reaction and not neutralization reaction as NO is neither basic nor acidic in water?

Answer 1

Because displacement reactions are -. chemical reaction which -
Takes place when an element has replaced from another element in a compound

While in the latter case
Both reactions are decomposed to give two new compounds - by exchanging their radicals

4NH3 + 5O2 =4NO + 6H2O + ∆T is an example of an exothermic reaction

That is why it is neither basic nor acidic in water

HOPE THIS HELPS

Answer 2

it is not an neutralization reaction becoz o2 is not a base and according to neutralization reaction acid and base react to form salt and water.so it is a displacement reaction.
hope it helps
