Chemistry · Electronic concepts of oxidation and reduction, redox reactions, oxidation number, rules for assigning oxidation number and balancing of redox reactions

reaction is an example of :

\( \boldsymbol{C u} \boldsymbol{O}+\boldsymbol{H}_{2} \longrightarrow \boldsymbol{H}_{2} \boldsymbol{O}+\boldsymbol{C u}, \) reaction is an example of :

  • A. redox reaction
  • B. synthesis reaction
  • C. neutralisation
  • D. analysis reaction

Step-by-step solution

The reaction involves reduction of CuO to Cu (loss of oxygen) and oxidation of H2 to H2O (gain of oxygen), so both oxidation and reduction occur simultaneously, making it a redox reaction.
