The correct Answer is:
To determine which reaction is a redox reaction, we need to analyze the oxidation states of the elements involved in each reaction. A redox reaction involves both oxidation (increase in oxidation state) and reduction (decrease in oxidation state). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactions**: We need to look at the given reactions and identify the oxidation states of the elements involved. 2. **Analyze the First Reaction**: - Reaction: Cu²⁺ + I⁻ → Cu⁺ + I₂ - Oxidation states: - Copper (Cu) changes from +2 to +1 (reduction). - Iodine (I) changes from -1 to 0 (oxidation). - Since both oxidation and reduction occur, this is a redox reaction. 3. **Analyze the Second Reaction**: - Reaction: NaCl + AgNO₃ → AgCl + NaNO₃ - This is a double displacement reaction. - Oxidation states: - Na: +1, Cl: -1, Ag: +1, N: +5, O: -2 remain unchanged. - No change in oxidation states indicates that this is not a redox reaction. 4. **Analyze the Third Reaction**: - Reaction: NH₄Cl + NaOH → NaCl + NH₃ + H₂O - Oxidation states: - Na: +1, Cl: -1, N: -3, H: +1 remain unchanged. - No change in oxidation states indicates that this is not a redox reaction. 5. **Analyze the Fourth Reaction**: - Reaction: K₂Cr₂O₇ + H₂SO₄ + Zn → Cr₂(SO₄)₃ + ZnSO₄ + H₂O - Oxidation states: - Chromium (Cr) changes from +6 to +3 (reduction). - Zinc (Zn) changes from 0 to +2 (oxidation). - Since both oxidation and reduction occur, this is also a redox reaction. 6. **Conclusion**: - The first reaction (Cu²⁺ + I⁻ → Cu⁺ + I₂) and the fourth reaction (K₂Cr₂O₇ + H₂SO₄ + Zn → Cr₂(SO₄)₃ + ZnSO₄ + H₂O) are redox reactions. ### Final Answer: The redox reactions among the given options are the first and fourth reactions.
