Hello mate !!

Here's your answer

Redox reaction is a reaction in which one reactant gets oxidised while other get reduced.

Example :- ZnO + C ----> Zn + CO

Hope this will help you :)

Answer 2

Heya ,

Here's ur answer ,


REDOX REACTION :

The reaction in which both oxidation and reduction takes place simultaneously is called as redox reaction.

In the redox reaction , one reactant gets oxidized while the other gets reduced during the reaction.

EXAMPLE :

When Barium sulphate is treated with red hot coke Blackberry sulphide and carbon monoxide are obtained .

BaSO4 + 4C ------>>> BaS +4CO

During this reaction Barium sulphate (BaSO4) loses oxygen , hence it is reduced.At the same time carbon (coke) gains oxygen ,hence it is oxidised . In other words ,BaSO4 gets reduced and carbon (coke ) gets oxidised.
