Answer» Solution :(a) `overset(-1)(3HCl_((AQ)))+overset(+5)(HNO_(3(aq)))tooverset(0)(Cl_(2(g)))+overset(+3)(NOCl_((g)))+2H_(2)O_((l))` Oxidation number of elements are change so this is redox reaction. HCl is reducing agent and `HNO_(3)` is oxidising agnet. (b) `Hgoverset(-1)(Cl_(2(aq)))+overset(-1)(2KI_((aq)))toHgoverset(-1)(I_(2(s)))+2Koverset(-1)(Cl_((aq)))` This is not redox reaction. ( c) `overset(+3)(Fe_(2))O_(3(s))+overset(+2)(3CO_((g)))tooverset(0)(2Fe_((s)))+overset(+4)(3CO_(2(g)))` Oxidation number of OXYGEN is changed so this is redox reaction. CO is reducing agent and `Fe_(2)O_(3)` is oxidising agnet. (d) `overset(+3)(P)overset(-1)(Cl_(3(l)))+3H_(2)O_((l))to3Hoverset(-1)(Cl_((aq)))+H_(2)overset(+3)(PO_(3(aq)))` This reaction is not redox reaction. (e) `overset(+3)(4NH_(3(aq)))+overset(0)(3O_(2(g)))tooverset(0)(2N_(2(g)))+6H_(2)overset(-2)(O_((g)))` This is redox reaction. `O_(2)` is oxidising agnet `NH_(3)` is reducing agent. |
