Question

Identify the type of reaction NH3+O2---> NO + H2O, is it a redox reaction

Answer 1

Answer:

4NH

3

(g) + 5O

2

(g)→ 4NO(g) + 6H

2

O(g) is an example of displacement as well as redox reaction. Oxygen displaces hydrogen of ammonia. Hence, this is a displacement reaction. Nitrogen of ammonia is getting oxidized with the addition of oxygen. This is also an example of redox reaction.
