Which of the following is not a redox reaction?
A) 2KClO3 -------> 2KCl + 3O2
B) HgCl2 + Zn -------> ZnCl2 + Hg
C) Cu + O2 --------> CuO
D) AgNO3 + NaCl --------> AgCl + NaNO3
answer : D) AgNO3 + NaCl --------> AgCl + NaNO3
D ) is not redox reaction
because Ag oxidation state in reactants and products = +1
Cl oxidation state in reactants and products = -1
Na oxidation state in reactants and products = +1
NO3 oxidation state in reactants and products = -1
so there is no change in oxidation state
remaining are correct:
KClO3 -------------------> KCl + O2
Cl oxidation state changes from +5 to -1 it is reduction . gain of electrons
O oxidation state chnages from -2 to 0 . it is oxidation . loss of electrons
B)
Hg+2 -------------------Hg reduction
Zn-------------------> Zn+2 oxidation
C)
Cu-----------------Cu+2 oxidation
O2 ----------------> O-2 redcution
