Which of the following equations (not balanced) represents an oxidation-reduction process?
a. AgNO3 + NaCl = AgCl + NaNO3
b. C + O2 = CO2
c. C2H4 + O2 = CO2 + H2O
d. more than one response is correct
a. AgNO3 + NaCl = AgCl + NaNO3
oxidation state of Ag and Na on both side is +1
oxidation state of Cl and NO3 is -1
so no oxidation or reduction
b. C + O2 = CO2
oxidation state of C changes from 0 to +4
oxidation state of O changes from 0 to -2
So, it represents an oxidation-reduction process
c. C2H4 + O2 = CO2 + H2O
oxidation state of C changes from +2 to +4
oxidation state of O changes from 0 to -2
So, it represents an oxidation-reduction process
