Fluorine reacts with ice and results in ...

Fluorine reacts with ice and results in the change:
`H_(2)O(s)+F_(2)(g) rarr HF(g)+HOF(g)`
Justify that this reaction is a redox reaction.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In this reaction, the `F_(2)` molecule has lundergone increase in O.N in changing to HOF and decrease in O.N in change to HF.It is therefoe, a redox reaction . Since the same reacting species has undergone increase as well as decrease in O.N it is also called disp[roportionation reaction .
