Answers
Answer:
The reaction in which oxidation reduction taking place simultaneously are called as Redox reaction. In this examples copper oxide is reduced and acts as oxidizing agent and H2 is oxidized and acts as reducing agent. these are the reaction in which oxidation and reduction are occurs in a same compound
Answer:
It is a redox reaction
Explanation:
Oxidation is a losing of electrons and Reduction is a gaining of electrons.
The reaction in which oxidation reduction taking place simultaneously are called as Redox reaction.
For example,
CuO + H2 ------- Cu+H2O
In this examples copper oxide is reduced and acts as oxidizing agent and H is oxidized and acts as reducing agent.these are the reaction in which oxidation and reduction are occurs in a same compound.
