Question

IS CaO + H20 gives Ca(OH)2 a redox reaction and how ? please explain which element is oxidaized and which is reduced ?
help me with this
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The equation with state symbols is:

Ca(s) + 2H₂O(ℓ) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + H₂(g)

The equation represents the reaction between calcium metal and water. When calcium is added into water, colorless solution of Ca(OH)₂ and colorless gas of hydrogen are formed as the products.

Answer 2

Answer:

In this reaction Ca from zero oxidn state goes to Ca 2+ state, oxidation and H from 1+ state to zero state, reduction Hence this a redox reaction
