Great question, but I believe you are mixing up atomic number with mass number. Assuming you are, 12.011 amu is the average mass of a carbon atom. For carbon, it can come in three forms: carbon-12, carbon-13, carbon-14. The number following carbon is the mass number of that particular carbon "isotope". The reason the average is so close to 12 is because carbon-12 is by far the most common, so the average should be (and is) very close to 12. Therefore, 12.011 is a weighted average of all carbon molecules, and carbon-14 is a particular carbon molecule that weighs 14 amu.

Answer:

B. CO + H₂O → H₂ + CO₂

Explanation:

Redox reaction -

It is the type of reaction , where the process of oxidation and reduction takes place simultaneously , is known as a redox reaction .

Oxidation refers to the addition of oxygen atom or the removal of hydrogen atom .

And ,

Reduction refers to the addition of hydrogen atom or the removal of the oxygen atom .

From the options given in the question , the only reaction , which have both the process of oxidation as well as reduction , is  -

CO + H₂O → H₂ + CO₂

In the above reaction ,

Oxidation process -  CO → CO₂ ,

The addition of oxygen atom .

Reduction process - H₂O → H₂ ,

The removal of oxygen atom .
