Fluorine reacts with ice and results in ...

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`H_(2)O(s)+F_(2)(g)toHF(g)+HOF(g)`
In this reaction `F_(2)` is undergoing reduction as well as oxidation as it is adding H (an electropositive element) to form HF and 0 (an electronegative element) to form HOF. Hence, it is a redox reaction.
