QUESTION: Problem 63P
Which type of redox reaction leads to the following?
(a) An increase in the number of substanccs
(b) A decrease in the number of substances
(c) No change in the number of substances
ANSWER:
Solution 63P:
Here, we are going to determine the type of redox reaction which lead to the following statement.
Step 1:
Redox reaction:
It is a reaction where the electrons transfer from one reactant to another.
For example:
The formation of water from the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen molecule.
There are three type of redox reactions:
- Combination reactions:
In the combination reaction, two or more reactant combine together to form the product.
For example:
The formation of NH3 (g).
(b) Decomposition reactions
In the decomposition reaction, one reactant forms two or more products.
For example:
Thermal decomposition of KClO3(s)
(c) Displacement reactions:
In the displacement reaction, the number of atoms remain same for the reactant and product but the atoms exchange take place.
For example:
Zn(s) displaces the Cu2+ ion from CuSO4
