Question

CuO+H2 ----- Cu+H2O equation and describe, how oxidation and reduction are taking place simultaneously​

Answer 1

Explanation:

An oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two species. In redox reaction the oxidation number of a molecule, atom, or ion changes by gaining or losing an electron.

In the reaction : CuO+H

2

⟶Cu+H

2

O

n the reaction H

2

is oxidized since it has lost electrons and Cu is reduced since it has gained electrons.

Answer 2

Answer:

In this reaction, Cu is oxidizing agent and H2 is reducing agent.

In given reaction, oxidation of H2 and reduction of Cu takes place
