The correct Answer is:
To solve the matching question, we will analyze each reaction and determine the correct match from the given options. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Reaction of Hydrogen Sulphide with Chlorine:** - When hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) reacts with chlorine (Cl₂), it produces hydrochloric acid (HCl) and elemental sulfur (S). - In this reaction, hydrogen is removed from H₂S, which indicates that oxidation is occurring (removal of hydrogen or addition of oxygen is oxidation). - **Match:** 1 → (b) Oxidation 2. **Splitting of Water into Hydrogen and Oxygen:** - The splitting of water (H₂O) into hydrogen (H₂) and oxygen (O₂) is achieved through a process called electrolysis. - Electrolysis involves using electric current to drive the decomposition of water into its constituent gases. - **Match:** 2 → (c) Electrolysis 3. **Reaction of Copper Oxide with Carbon:** - When copper oxide (CuO) reacts with carbon (C), it produces copper (Cu) and carbon dioxide (CO₂). - In this reaction, oxygen is removed from copper oxide, which indicates that reduction is occurring (removal of oxygen is reduction). - **Match:** 3 → (a) Reduction 4. **Formation of Hydrogen from Water and Coke (Carbon):** - The reaction of water with coke (carbon) produces carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H₂). - This process is specifically known as the Bosch process, which is used for producing hydrogen. - **Match:** 4 → (d) Bosch process ### Final Matches: 1. Reaction of hydrogen sulphide with chlorine → (b) Oxidation 2. Splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen → (c) Electrolysis 3. Reaction of copper oxide with carbon → (a) Reduction 4. Formation of hydrogen from water and coke → (d) Bosch process ### Summary of Matches: - 1 → (b) - 2 → (c) - 3 → (a) - 4 → (d)
