Which reaction involves a redox process where oxygen is neither gained nor lost by the element oxidized?
In \( \ce{2FeSO4 + I2 -> Fe2(SO4)3 + 2HI} \), Fe (+2 to +3) is oxidized without oxygen change; I (+2 to -1) is reduced.
Which reaction involves a redox process where a single element acts as both oxidizing and reducing agent?
In \( \ce{3HNO2 -> HNO3 + 2NO + H2O} \), N (+3) in \( \ce{HNO2} \) is oxidized to +5 in \( \ce{HNO3} \) and reduced to +2 in \( \ce{NO} \), a disproportionation.
What is the oxidation number of oxygen in \( \ce{O3} \)?
In its elemental form, \( \ce{O3} \) (ozone), oxygen has an oxidation number of 0.
Which reaction involves a redox process where the oxidizing agent contains sulfur?
In \( \ce{2Fe + 3SO2 -> Fe2O3 + 3S} \), \( \ce{SO2} \) (S: +4 to 0) is reduced, oxidizing Fe (0 to +3).
In the reaction \( \ce{2MnO2 + 2KOH + O2 -> 2K2MnO4 + H2} \), which element is reduced?
H (+1 in \( \ce{KOH} \)) becomes 0 in \( \ce{H2} \), gaining electrons.
Which of the following reactions is an example of disproportionation?
In \( \ce{Cl2 + 2NaOH -> NaCl + NaClO + H2O} \), Cl (0) is both oxidized to +1 (\( \ce{NaClO} \)) and reduced to -1 (\( \ce{NaCl} \)).
Which element undergoes reduction in the reaction \( \ce{2Na + 2H2O -> 2NaOH + H2} \)?
H (+1 in \( \ce{H2O} \)) reduces to 0 in \( \ce{H2} \), gaining electrons.
Which reaction represents a decomposition redox process?
In \( \ce{2KClO3 -> 2KCl + 3O2} \), Cl (+5 to -1) is reduced, and O (-2 to 0) is oxidized.
What is the oxidation number of sulfur in \( \ce{S4O6^2-} \)?
Let S = \( x \). O = -2. Equation: \( 4x + 6(-2) = -2 \), \( 4x - 12 = -2 \), \( 4x = 10 \), \( x = +2.5 \) (average).
In \( \ce{2FeCl3 + H2S -> 2FeCl2 + S + 2HCl} \), which species contains the element reduced?
Fe (+3 in \( \ce{FeCl3} \)) to +2 in \( \ce{FeCl2} \) is reduced; S (-2 to 0) is oxidized.
