Question

Distinguish between a direct and an indirect redox reaction

Answer 1

Direct Redox reaction occurs in the same container why indirect Redox reaction takes place in two different containers

Answer 2

Explanation:

Direct redox reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which oxidation and reduction reactions takes place in common container. For example: Green color copper sulfate solution gets de-colorize on addition of zinc metal.

$CuSO_4(aq)+Zn(s)\rightarrow ZnSO_4(aq)+Cu(s)$

Indirect redox reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which oxidation and reduction reactions takes place in two different containers. For example: Electro-chemical cells which are used to convert chemical energy produced in a redox reaction into electrical energy.
