The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given reactions are redox reactions, we need to analyze each reaction and identify the changes in oxidation states of the elements involved. A redox reaction involves both oxidation (loss of electrons) and reduction (gain of electrons). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactions**: - Reaction A: \( \text{Zn} + 2 \text{HCl} \rightarrow \text{ZnCl}_2 + \text{H}_2 \) - Reaction B: \( \text{Al(OH)}_3 + 3 \text{HCl} \rightarrow \text{AlCl}_3 + 3 \text{H}_2\text{O} \) - Reaction C: \( \text{Ag}^+ + \text{I}^- \rightarrow \text{AgI} \) - Reaction D: \( 2 \text{Cu}^+ \rightarrow \text{Cu}^{2+} + \text{Cu} \) 2. **Analyze Reaction A**: - Zinc (Zn) is oxidized from 0 to +2 (loses electrons). - Hydrogen ions (from HCl) are reduced from +1 to 0 (gains electrons). - **Conclusion**: This is a redox reaction. 3. **Analyze Reaction B**: - Aluminum (Al) in Al(OH)₃ has an oxidation state of +3 and remains +3 in AlCl₃. - There is no change in oxidation states. - **Conclusion**: This is not a redox reaction (only a neutralization reaction). 4. **Analyze Reaction C**: - Silver (Ag) goes from +1 to 0, and Iodide (I) goes from -1 to 0. - Both ions are involved in a combination reaction but do not show a change in oxidation states. - **Conclusion**: This is not a redox reaction. 5. **Analyze Reaction D**: - Copper (Cu) in Cu⁺ is oxidized to Cu²⁺ (loses electrons). - The other Cu remains in its elemental form (0 oxidation state). - **Conclusion**: This is a redox reaction (disproportionation reaction). 6. **Final Conclusion**: - The reactions that are redox reactions are **A** and **D**. ### Summary: - **Redox Reactions**: A and D - **Not Redox Reactions**: B and C
