Question

(b) Split the following Redox reaction in the oxidation and reduction half reactions:
2Na+ Br2
2NaBr

Answer 1

Answer :

$\boxed{\bf{\red{2Na+Br_2\longrightarrow 2NaBr}}}$

★ Redox reactions are the reactions in which oxidation and reduction occur simultaneously.

★ In terms of electron transfer, loss of electrons by any species is called oxidation and gain of electrons by any species is called reduction.

➤ Oxidation half :

• 2Na ➙ 2Na$^+$ + 2e‾

➤ Reduction half :

• Br₂ + 2e‾ ➙ 2Br‾

➤ Redox reaction :

• 2Na + Br₂ ➙ 2NaBr
