Question

Baso4+4C-BaS+4CO please tell me what type of reaction is it
​

Answer 1

Answer:

This is a Redox reaction.

Explanation:

Redox reaction is a type of reaction in which both reduction and oxidation occur. Reduction involves the gain of electrons and the removal of oxygen. Oxidation involves the loss of electrons and the addition of oxygen.

Here, in this reaction, Carbon (C) is added to Barium sulphate (BaSO4) which gives products, BaS and CO.

The carbon atom gets oxidized, by gaining oxygen and it reduces BaSO4 to BaS by removing oxygen from it.

So, Carbon is Oxidized and Barium sulphate is Reduced.
