The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given reactions is not an intermolecular redox reaction, we need to analyze the oxidation states of the elements involved in each reaction. A redox reaction involves the transfer of electrons, which is indicated by a change in oxidation states. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactions**: We need to look at the provided reactions and identify the oxidation states of the elements involved. 2. **Analyze Reaction A (Mg to MgO)**: - Oxidation state of Mg in elemental form = 0. - Oxidation state of Mg in MgO = +2. - Since the oxidation state changes from 0 to +2, this is a redox reaction. 3. **Analyze Reaction B (H2 to H2O)**: - Oxidation state of H in H2 = 0. - Oxidation state of O in H2O = -2. - Oxidation state of H in H2O = +1. - Here, H is oxidized (0 to +1) and O is reduced (0 to -2). This is a redox reaction. 4. **Analyze Reaction C (K to K+ and H2)**: - Oxidation state of K in elemental form = 0. - Oxidation state of K in K+ = +1. - Oxidation state of H in H2 = 0. - H in H2O has an oxidation state of +1. - K is oxidized (0 to +1) and H is reduced (0 to +1). This is a redox reaction. 5. **Analyze Reaction D (MnBr3)**: - Oxidation state of Mn in MnBr3 = +3. - Oxidation state of Mn in MnBr2 = +2. - Oxidation state of Br in Br2 = 0. - Mn is reduced (from +3 to +2) and Br is oxidized (0 to -1). This is a redox reaction. 6. **Conclusion**: After analyzing all the reactions, we find that Reaction A (Mg to MgO) does not involve a change in oxidation state of Mg when considering the formation of MgO from elemental Mg. Therefore, it is not an intermolecular redox reaction. ### Final Answer: The reaction that is not an intermolecular redox reaction is **Option A (Mg to MgO)**.
