Write a balanced redox reaction for TCE to cis-DCE (oxidation half reaction is benzene to CO2)
The oxidation state of carbon in TCE and cis-DCE are respectively +2 and 0 respectively and hence this is a case of reduction.
Carbon in benzene has an oxidation state of -1 and it gets oxidised through combustion to CO2 which has carbon with oxidation state +4.
