Question

what is redox reaction with example
​

Answer 1

Answer:

A redox reaction can be defined as a chemical reaction in which electrons are transferred between two reactants participating in it. This transfer of electrons can be identified by observing the changes in the oxidation states of the reacting species.

Example:

The formation of hydrogen fluoride is an example of a redox reaction. We can break the reaction down to analyze the oxidation and reduction of reactants. The hydrogen is oxidized and loses two electrons, so each hydrogen becomes positive.

H2+2F→2HF

Answer 2

Answer:

A reaction in which one reactant undergoes oxidation whereas the other gets reduced during the course of reaction are termed as oxidation-reduction reactions or redox reactions.

Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) → FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s) Oxidation state of Fe changes from 0 to +2 and oxidation state of Cu changes from +2 to 0.
