Redox is a contraction of the name for a chemical reduction–oxidation reaction. Any such reaction involves both a reduction process and a complementary oxidation process. Redox reactions include all chemical reactions in which atoms have their oxidation state changed; in general, redox reactions involve the transfer of electrons between chemical species. The chemical species from which the electron is stripped is said to have been oxidized, while the chemical species to which the electron is added is said to have been reduced. Oxygen is not necessarily included in such reactions as other chemical species can serve the same function.

The term "redox" comes from two concepts involved with electron transfer: reduction and oxidation.[1] It can be explained in simple terms:
Oxidation is the loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state by a molecule, atom, or ion.
The reduction is the gain of electrons or a decrease in oxidation state by a molecule, atom, or ion.

Consider the table of standard reduction potentials shown below.

Half-reaction	$E^{\circ}$
$Cl_{2} + 2e^{-}\rightarrow 2Cl^{-}$	$1.36\ V$
$O_{2} + 4H^{+} + 4e^{-} \rightarrow 2H_{2}O$	$1.23\ V$
$2H_{2}O + 2e^{-} \rightarrow H_{2} + 2OH^{-}$	$-0.83\ V$
$Rb^{+} + e^{-} \rightarrow Rb$	$-2.93\ V$

$\dfrac {(10.0)(15)(60)(59)}{(96,500)(2)} g$
0%
$\dfrac {(96,500)(59)}{(10)(15)(60)(2)} g$

Explanation

According to Faraday's Law

$W= \cfrac {Z \times I \times t}{F}$

$W$ = mass of compound

$Z$ = Equivalent mass

$F$ = 96500

$I$ = Current in Ampere

$t$ = time in seconds

$\Rightarrow W= \left(\cfrac {59}{2}\right)\cfrac {\times 15\times 60 sec\times 10A}{96500}$

$\Rightarrow W= \cfrac {(10.0)(15)(60)(59)}{(96500)(2)}g$

0%
$MnO^-_4$
0%
$Cr(CN)^{3-}_6$
0%
$NiF^{2-}_6$
0%
$CrO_2Cl_2$

Explanation

Hint:

The total number of electrons an atom can lose or gain to form a bond with other elements is called the oxidation state of that atom.

Explanation:

In $MnO_{4}^{-}$ , let the oxidation state of $Mn$ be $x$

$x\ +\ (4\left ( -2 \right ))=-1$ $\Rightarrow x=+7$ .

In $Cr\left ( CN \right )_{6}^{3-}$ , let the oxidation state of $Cr$ be $y$

$y\ +\ (6\left ( -1 \right ))=-3$ $\Rightarrow y=+3$ .

In $NiF_{6}^{2-}$ , let the oxidation state of $Ni$ be $z$

$z\ +\ (6\left ( -1 \right ))=-2$ $\Rightarrow z=+4$ .

In $CrO_2Cl_2$ , let the oxidation state of $Cr$ be $q$

$q\ +\ (2\left ( -2 \right ))\ +\ (2\left ( -1 \right ))=0$ $\Rightarrow q=+6$ .

Hence, $CrO_2Cl_2$ has $+6$ oxidation state.

Therefore, the correct answer is option $D.$

The oxidation numbers of the sulphur atoms in peroxomonosulphuric acid

$(H_{2}SO_{5})$ and peroxodisulphuric acid

$(H_{2}S_{2}O_{8})$ are respectively

0%
$+8$ and $+7$
0%
$+3$ and $+3$
0%
$+6$ and $+6$
0%
$+4$ and $+6$

Explanation

Both the peroxomonosulphuric acid

$(H_{2}SO_{5})$ and peroxodisulphuric acid

$(H_{2}S_{2}O_{8})$ have peroxide linkage and have the following structures.

Thus, the oxidation number of

$S$ in

$H_{2}SO_{5}$ is calculated as:

$\underset {(for\ H)}{2\times (+1)} + \underset {(for\ S)}{X} + \underset {for\ O}{3\times (-2)} + \underset {(for\ peroxide)}{2\times (-1)}=0$

$2 + x - 6 - 2 = 0$

$\therefore x = +6$

Thus, oxidation number of

$S$ in

$H_{2}S_{2}O_{8}$ is calculated as

$\underset {(for\ H)}{2\times (+1)} + \underset {(for\ S)}{2\times (x)} + \underset {(for\ O)}{6\times (-2)} + \underset {(for\ peroxide)}{2\times (-1)} = 0$

$2 + 2x - 12 + 2 = 0$

$\therefore x = + 6$ .

$CH_3COOH$ is neutralized by

$NaOH$ . Conductometric titration curve will be of the type:

Explanation

When

$CH_3COOH$ is neutralized with

$NaOH$ . The conductometric curve is as follows-

This is because, weak acid dissouates partiaaly into

$H^+$ &

$CH_3COO^-$ ions & show no, of ions few in the solution. Hence the solution has low conductance value. When, few drops of strong base which dissociates as

$(Na^+ + OH^-)$ completely acid-base reaction occurs, the

$OH^-$ ion consumes

$H^+$ to form

$H_2O$ . So, by adding few drops of base at first conductance decrease slightly, ith further addition of more drops of base all

$H^+$ are consumed & more drops of base, all

$H^+$ are consumed & dissociation of weak acid increases which is reflected by gradual increase in conductance.

When a piece of sodium metal is dropped in water, hydrogen gas evolved because:

0%
sodium is reduced and acts as an oxidising agent
0%
water is oxidised and acts as a reducing agent
0%
sodium loses electrons and is oxidised while water in reduced
0%
water loses electrons and is oxidised to hydrogen

Explanation

Reaction of sodium metal with water results in the evolution of hydrogen gas and formation of sodium hydroxide as:

$2\overset { 0 }{ Na } +2\overset { +1 }{ { H }_{ 2 } } O\quad \longrightarrow 2\overset { +1 }{ Na } OH+\overset { 0 }{ { H }_{ 2 } }$

Thus, the metal (Na) gets oxidized by lossing one electron and water gets reduced to hydrogen gas by gaining electron.

$KMnO_4$ acts as an oxidizing agent in acidic medium. The number of moles of

$KMnO_4$ that will be needed to react with one mole of sulphide ions in acidic solution is:

0%
$\dfrac{2}{5}$
0%
$\dfrac{3}{5}$
0%
$\dfrac{4}{5}$
0%
$\dfrac{1}{5}$

Explanation

$5\overline { e } +Mn{ O }_{ 4 }^{ -2 }\longrightarrow M{ n }^{ +2 }\times 2\\ +\quad \quad \quad { 5 }^{ -2 }+2\overline { e } \longrightarrow S\times 2\\ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \\ 2Mn{ O }_{ 4 }^{ - }+5{ S }^{ -2 }\longrightarrow 2Mn^{ +2 }+5S$

Divide reaction by

$5.$

$\cfrac { 2 }{ 5 } Mn{ O }_{ 4 }^{ - }+{ 5 }^{ -2 }\longrightarrow 2Mn^{ +2 }+5S$

Hence

$1$ mole of sulphide ions will require

$\cfrac { 2 }{ 5 }$ moles of

$Mn{ O }_{ 4 }^{ - }$ ions.

In the electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride solution which of the half-cell reaction will occur at the anode?

0%
$Na^+_{(aq)}+e^-\rightarrow Na_{(s)}; E^o_{cell}=-2.71$ V
0%
$2H_2O_{(l)}\rightarrow O_{2(g)}+4H^+_{(aq)}+4e^-; E^o_{cell}=1.23$ V
0%
$H^+_{aq}+e^-\rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}H_{2(g)}; E^o_{cell}=0.00$ V
0%
$Cl^-_{(aq)}\rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}Cl_{2(g)}+e^-; E^o_{cell}=1.36$ V

Explanation

At anode, oxidation takes place.

According to preferential discharge theory, more is the

$\varepsilon_{cell}$ of anode potential more is the tendency for reaction to take place.

hence,

$Cl_2$ gas is evolved.

$Cl^{\circleddash}\longrightarrow \cfrac{1}{2}Cl_2+e^-\quad\quad \varepsilon^o_{cell}=1.36$

$V$

Which of the following is

$\textbf{not}$ an example of redox reaction?

0%
$CuO + H_{2} \rightarrow Cu + H_{2}O$
0%
$Fe_{2}O_{3} + 3CO \rightarrow 2Fe + 3CO_{2}$
0%
$2K + F_{2} \rightarrow 2KF$
0%
$BaCl_{2} + H_{2}SO_{4} \rightarrow BaSO_{4} + 2HCl$

Explanation

Redox reaction involves simultaneous oxidation and reduction of reacting species. Thus change in oxidation state will decide whether a reaction is redox or not. Thus assigning the oxidation states as:

$\overset {+2}{Cu}O + \overset {0}{H_2} \rightarrow \overset {0}{Cu} + \overset {+1}{H_2}O$ : oxidation of H and reduction of Cu

$\overset {+3}{Fe_2}O_3 + 3\overset {+2}{C}O \rightarrow 2\overset {0}{Fe} + 3\overset {+4}{C}O_2$ : oxidation of C and reduction of Fe

$2\overset {0}{K} + \overset {0}{F_2} \rightarrow 2\overset {+1}{K}\overset {-1}{F}$ : oxidation of K and reduction of F

$\overset {+2}{Ba}Cl_2 + H_2SO_4 \rightarrow \overset {+2}{Ba}SO_4 + 2HCl$ : not a redox reaction.

Based on the cell notation for spontaneous reaction, at the anode:

$Ag(s)|AgCl(s)|{ Cl }^{ - }(aq)\parallel { Br }^{ - }(aq)|{ Br }_{ 2 }(I)|C(s)$

0%
$AgCl$ gets reduced
0%
$Ag$ gets oxidized
0%
${ Br }^{ - }$ gets oxidized
0%
${ Br }_{ 2 }$ gets reduced

Explanation

$Ag\left( s \right) \left| AgCl\left( s \right) \right| { Cl }^{ \left( - \right) }\left| { Br }^{ - } \right| \left| { Br }_{ 2 } \right| C\left( s \right)$

Anode :

$Ag+{ Cl }^{ \left( - \right) }\rightarrow AgCl+{ e }^{ - }$

Cathode :

$\dfrac { 1 }{ 2 } { Br }_{ 2 }+{ e }^{ \left( - \right) }\rightarrow { Br }^{ \left( - \right) }$

$\therefore$ at anode, oxidation takes place.

Hence,

$Ag$ gets oxidized.

The oxidation number and coordination number of

$M$ in the compound,

$[M(SO_4)(NH_3)_5]$ will be:

0%
10 and 3
0%
1 and 6
0%
6 and 4
0%
2 and 6

Explanation

Since

$M$ has 6 ligands attached to it, the co-ordination no. of the compound is 6. Here, the anionic species inside the co-ordination sphere is

$(SO_{4})^{2-}$ . Since the compound as a whole is neutral, the oxidation no. of

$M$ should be 2.

Hence, the correct option is

$D$

The magnetic moment of

$M^{x+}$ (atomic number

$= 25$ ) is

$\sqrt{15}$ . Then, the oxidation number

$x$ of

$M$ is:

0%
4
0%
3
0%
2
0%
none of these

Explanation

$\sqrt { n\left( n+2 \right) } =\sqrt { 15 }$

Squaring both sides

$\Rightarrow n\left( n+2 \right) =15$

$\Rightarrow { n }^{ v }+2n-15=0$

$\Rightarrow { n }^{ v }+5n-3n-15=0$

$\Rightarrow n\left( n+5 \right) -3\left( n+5 \right) =0$

$\Rightarrow \left( n+5 \right) \left( n-3 \right) =0$

Solving we get,

$n=3$

Thus there are

$3$ unpaired electrons in the element.

The configuration of an element with atomic number

$2S$ is

$\rightarrow$

${ 1S }^{ 2 }{ 2S }^{ 2 }{ 2P }^{ 6 }{ 3S }^{ 2 }{ 3P }^{ 6 }{ 4S }^{ 2 }{ 3d }^{ 5 }$ . This configuration has electrons in the valence shell.

We have been given that the symbol of the element is

${ M }^{ x+ }$ .

So, oxidation number of

$M=5-3$

$=2$

In acid medium, the standard reduction potential of

$NO$ converted to

${ N }_{ 2 }O$ is

$1.59 V$ . Its standard potential in alkaline medium would be:

0%
$-1.59 V$
0%
$-0.764 V$
0%
$0.764 V$
0%
$0.062 V$

Explanation

$NO \longrightarrow N_2O$

$E^o= 1.59V$

The reaction in acidic medium,

$2NO+2H^+ \longrightarrow N_2O+H_2O$ ;

$E^o=1.59$

In basic medium,

$2NO+H_2O \longrightarrow N_2O+2OH^-$ ; Let

$E^o=x$

Now, in alkaline medium,

$H_2O \rightleftharpoons H^++OH^-$

$\Rightarrow K=10^{-14}$

or,

$2H_2O \rightleftharpoons 2H^++2OH^-$ ,

$K= 10^{-28}$

We know,

$E^o= \cfrac {0.059}{n}\log K$

$=\cfrac {0.059}{2}\log 10^{-28}= 0.826$

For standard potential,

$E^o_{acidic}+E^o_{basic}=E^o_{cell}$

$\Rightarrow 1.59+x= 0.826$

$\Rightarrow x= 0.764$

Write balanced equations for the half reactions and calculate the reduction potentials at

$25^0C$ for the following half cells :

$Cl^-(1.2M) | Cl_2(g, 3.6 atm) | Pt E^o = 1.36 V$

Justify that the following reactions are redox reactions.

0%

0%
$2K\left( s \right) +{ F }_{ 2 }\left( g \right) \rightarrow { 2K }^{ + }{ F }^{ - }\left( s \right)$

Explanation

$(A)$

$\overset { +2 }{ Cu } O\left( s \right) +{ \overset { 0 }{ H } }_{ 2 }\left( g \right) \longrightarrow \overset { 0 }{ Cu } \left( s \right) +{ \overset { +1 }{ H } }_{ 2 }O\left( g \right)$

Here, reduction of

$\overset { +2 }{ Cu } O$ to

$\overset { 0 }{ Cu }$ and oxidation of

${ \overset { 0 }{ H } }_{ 2 }$ to

${ \overset { +1 }{ H } }_{ 2 }O$ takes place. Therefore, it is a redox reaction.

$(B)$

${ \overset { +3 }{ Fe } }_{ 2 }{ O }_{ 3 }\left( s \right) +3\overset { +2 }{ CO } \left( g \right) \longrightarrow 2\overset { 0 }{ Fe } \left( s \right) +3{ \overset { +4 }{ CO } }_{ 2 }\left( g \right)$

Here, reduction of

${ \overset { +3 }{ Fe } }_{ 2 }{ O }_{ 3 }$ to

$\overset { 0 }{ Fe }$ and oxidation of

$\overset { +2 }{ CO }$ takes place. Therefore, it is a redox reaction.

$(C)$

$4\overset { +3 }{ B } { Cl }_{ 3 }\left( g \right) +3Li\overset { +3 }{ AI } { H }_{ 4 }\left( s \right) \longrightarrow 3{ \overset { +3 }{ B } }_{ 2 }{ H }_{ 6 }\left( s \right) +3LiCl\left( s \right) +3\overset { +3 }{ AI } { Cl }_{ 3 }\left( s \right)$

Here, no change of oxidation states take place. Therefore, it is not a redox reaction.

$(D)$

$2\overset { 0 }{ K } \left( s \right) +{ \overset { 0 }{ F } }_{ 2 }\left( g \right) \longrightarrow 2{ K }^{ + }{ F }^{ - }\left( s \right)$

Here,

$\overset { 0 }{ K }$ is oxidized to

${ K }^{ +1 }$ and

${ \overset { 0 }{ F } }_{ 2 }$ is reduced to

${ F }^{ -1 }$ . So, it is a redox reaction.
