Question

What do you mean by redox reaction? Represent the following chemical reaction as redox reaction... Identify oxidising agent and reducing agent.
CuO+H2 = Cu+H2O

Answer 1

Answer:

redox reaction is a reaction in which oxidation and reduction take place simultaneously

here cu is reduced as it loses oxygen whereas h2 is oxidised as it gains oxygen

Answer 2

Answer:

The kind of a reaction in which oxidation and reduction take place simultaneously is called redox reaction.

• here h2 is oxidising agent.
• Cuo is reducing agent.
