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