Question

Discuss about Oxidation and Reduction in the chemical process given Below :
H₂ + CuO -> Cu + H₂0Hydrogen Copper oxide Copper Water

Answer 1

Answer:oxidation of h2 and reduction of cuo

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Oxidation = H₂

Reduction = CuO

Explanation:

Oxidation : It is defined as substance which gain an oxygen.

Reduction : It is defined as substance which lose an oxygen.

We have given a reaction

H₂ + CuO -> Cu + H₂0

Here hydrogen gas becomes water in product So, hydrogen gas gain oxygen So, we called an oxidation of hydrogen takes place.

Here CuO  becomes Copper in product So, CuO Lose oxygen So, we called a reduction of CuO takes place.
