### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Redox Reactions**: - A redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction involves the transfer of electrons between two species. One species gets oxidized (loses electrons), while the other gets reduced (gains electrons). 2. **Electrolysis Process**: - Electrolysis is a chemical process that uses electricity to drive a non-spontaneous reaction. It occurs in an electrolytic cell where two electrodes (anode and cathode) are immersed in an electrolyte. ...

What are redox reactions?

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. Which of the following is an example of redox reaction ?

Which of the following is not an example of redox reaction?
