1.	Fluorine reacts with ice and results in the change: H_(2)O(s) + F_(2)(g) to HF(g) + HOF(g) Justify that this reaction is a redox reaction .
Answer» Solution :`H_(2)O(s)+F_(2)(G)toHF(g)+HOF(g)` In this reaction `F_(2)` is undergoing reduction as well as OXIDATION as it is ADDING H (an electropositive element) to form HF and 0 (an electronegative element) to form HOF. Hence, it is a redox reaction.
