Question: Which of the following are redox reactions-

Options:

A) 12H2+12I2+HI

B) PCl5PCl3+Cl2

C) 2CuSO4+4KICu2I2+2K2SO4+I2

D) CaOCl2Ca+2+OCl+Cl

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] 12H0,20+12I0,20HI+11, ….(i)

P+5,Cl51,P+3,Cl3+CI20, …..(ii)

2Cu+2,SO4+4KI+11,Cu+1,2I21,+2K2SO4+I0,2 …(iii)

Ca+2,OCl1,2Ca2++OCl+Cl …..(iv)

Except (4), there occurs a change in O.S. of the reactants and products. Hence, except (4), all other are redox reactions.
