1.	Consider the chemical equation given below and answer the questions that follow: CuO+H_(2)overset("Heat")rarrCu+H_(2)O (i) Name the substance which is getting oxidised. (ii) Name the substance which is getting reduced. (iii) Name the oxidising agent. (iv) Name the reducing agent. (v) What type of a reaction does this equation represent?
Answer» SOLUTION :(i) The substance getting oxidised is `H_(2)`. (II) The substance getting reduced is CUO. (iii) CuO is the oxidising agent. (IV) `H_(2)` is the reducing agent. (v) Since oxidation and reduction is taking place simultaneously, this reaction is an example of redox reaction.
