Redox is a reaction in which both oxidation and reduction will take place simultaneously . It is obvious that if one substance gives electron there must be another substance to accept these electrons . In some reactions, same substance is reduced as well as oxidised, these reactions are termed as disproportionation reactions. For calculating equivalent mass in redox reaction change in oxidtaion number is realted to n-factor which is reciprocal of molar ratio.

    The molecules of a substance collide with each other.

    Assertion :- In the reaction Zn(s)+cu^(+2)(aq)rarrZn^(+2)(aq)+Cu(s) Cu^(+2) ions act as oxidising agent and Zn atoms act as a reducing agent. Reason :- A substance when readily gain electrons from other, substance is an oxidising agent while reducing agent is a substance which can lose electrons to other susbtances.

    Assertion :- A reducing agent is a substance which accepts electron. Reason :- A substanc which helps in oxidaton is known as reducing agent.
