Question

complete the following reaction. write the type. BaSO4 + 4C>>>>>>>>> BaS + 4C​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given chemical reaction

BaSO4 + 4C ----------> BaS + 4CO

This is an example of  redox reaction which involves both oxidation and reduction process.

Here Barium sulphate undergoes reduction where oxygen is lost.

BaSO4---> BaS

Carbon is oxidizing agent which gets oxidized to carbon monoxide .

4C--->4 CO

Note :

Oxidation reaction involves addition of Oxygen

Reduction reaction involves removal of oxygen
