Question

four oxidation reactions of organic chemistry​

Answer 1

1] Combination Reaction

These reactions are the opposite of decomposition reaction and hence involve the combination of two compounds to form a single compound in the form of A + B → AB.

For example:

1] H2 + Cl2 → 2HClC+O2→CO2

2] 4Fe+ 3O2→2Fe2O3

2] Displacement Reaction

In this kind of reaction, an atom or an ion in a compound is replaced by an atom or an ion of another element. It can be represented in the form of X + YZ → XZ + Y. Further displacement reaction can be categorized into

• Metal displacement Reaction
• Non-metal displacement Reaction
• Metal Displacement

In this type of reaction, a metal present in the compound is displaced by another metal. These types of reactions find their application in metallurgical processes where pure metals are obtained from their ores.

For example CuSO4+Zn→Cu+ZnSO4

3] Non-Metal Displacement

In this type of reaction, we can find a hydrogen displacement and sometimes rarely occurring reactions involving oxygen displacement.

4] Disproportionation Reactions

The reactions in which single reactant is oxidized and reduced is known as Disproportionation reactions.

For example: P4 + 3NaOH + 3H2O → 3NaH2PO2 + PH3
