Question

What is redox reaction? Blance the following redox equation by half reaction method (Acidic medium)
H2C2O4 (aq)+MnO4 (aq) CO2 (g) + Mn2+ (aq)​

Answer 1

Answer:

A reaction in which both oxidation and reduction reaction occur simultaneously is called redox reaction

Explanation:

Example

CuO+H2_Cu+H2O

ZnO+4HCL_Zn+CO

In this above reaction CuO, ZnO are reduced to Cu and Zn while H2,C are oxidised to H2O, CO

Similarly rusting of iron os also redox reaction
