Give an example of redox reaction and name the reducing agent and oxidizing agent |
| Answer» H2S + Cl2\xa0→ 2HCl + SThe O.N. of S increases from -2 to 0. So it is undergoing oxidation and O.N. of Cl2\xa0decreases from 0 to -1. So it is undergoing reduction. Therefore it is a redox reaction.CuO + H2\xa0→ Cu +H2OIn this redox reaction, CuO is getting reduced to Cu since Oxygen is getting removed. So, the conversion of CuO to Cu is reduction reaction. H2\xa0is getting oxidised to H2O. So, it is oxidation reaction.Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) → FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s)Oxidation state of Fe changes from 0 to +2 and oxidation state of Cu changes from +2 to 0 | |
