Question 15 • Foothill-B Period-Chemistry-26/27B

Which of these reactions are redox reactions? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
Cd + HCl → CdCl2 + H2
B
CuCl2 + Na2S → 2NaCl + CuS
C
CaCO3 → CaO + CO2
D
2ZnS + 3O2 → 2ZnO + 2SO2
E
CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O

Explanation

A, D, and E are redox reactions because oxidation states change in each. In A, Cd goes from 0 to +2 while hydrogen goes from +1 to 0. In D, sulfur changes from −2 to +4 and oxygen from 0 to −2; in E, carbon changes from −4 to +4 and oxygen from 0 to −2. In B and C, the elements keep the same oxidation states, so those reactions are not redox.
