Answer 1

Question :

Explain by giving one example how oxidation and reduction proceed side by side.

Answer :

Oxidation and reduction proceed side by side and this can be given by the following reaction :

$\bf CuO+H_2\rightarrow Cu+H_2O$

In this reaction, $\bf CuO$ gets reduced to $\bf Cu$ by loosing oxygen and $\bf H_2$ gets oxidised to $\bf H_2O$ by gaining oxygen. Therefore, oxidation and reduction proceed side by side.
