Which of the following reactions do not involve oxidation reduction ? I. 2Cs+2H_(2)Orarr2CsOH+H_(2) II. 2CuI_(2)rarr2CuI+I_(2) III. NH_(4)Br+KOHrarrKBr+NH_(3)+H_(2)O IV. 4KCN+Fe(CN)_(2)rarrK_(4)[Fe(CN)_(6)]

l, II
I,III
l,LLL,IV
lll,IV

Solution :(d) I. `CS rarr Cs^(1+) + e^(-)` (Oxidation)
`H_2O + e^(-) rarr OVERLINE(O)H +1/2H_2`(Reduction)
Hence, redox REACTION.
II. `e^(-) + Cu^(2+) rarr Cu^(1+)` (Reduction)
`2I^(-) rarr l_2 +2e^(-)` (Oxidation)
Hence, redox reaction.
II. `N overset(+)(H)_4 rarr NH_3` (No change in oxidation number)
Hence, reaction is not a redox reaction.
IV. No change in the oxidation number of either `Fe_(2+)` or `CN^(-)` in both reactant and PRODUCT, hence, reaction is not a redox reaction.
