प्रश्न
Define ‘redox reaction’. Give one example.
What is redox reaction? Explain with one example
उत्तर १
When oxidation and reduction occur simultaneously in a given chemical reaction, it is known as a redox reaction.
Example of a redox reaction:
Reduction Oxidation
BaSO4 +4C → BaS+4CO
उत्तर २
The reaction in which simultaneous oxidation and reduction take place is called a redox reaction
Cu+2 + Zn → Zn+2 + Cu
in the above reaction, copper undergoes reduction whereas Zn undergoes oxidation.
Therefore the reaction is redox reaction.
उत्तर ३
The reaction in which one substance gets oxidised and other gets reduced is known as redox reaction.
Example:
ZnO + C → Zn + CO
Here, C is oxidised to CO because oxygen is being added and ZnO is reduced to Zn because oxygen is being removed. Therefore, it is a redox reaction.
