The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify a reaction that is similar to the one given, which is a redox reaction. The original reaction is: \[ \text{ZnO} + \text{C} \rightarrow \text{Zn} + \text{CO} \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Type of Reaction**: The reaction between zinc oxide and carbon is a redox reaction. In this reaction, zinc oxide (ZnO) is reduced to zinc (Zn), and carbon (C) is oxidized to carbon monoxide (CO). 2. **Understanding Redox Reactions**: - **Oxidation**: Loss of electrons (increase in oxidation state). - **Reduction**: Gain of electrons (decrease in oxidation state). - In the given reaction, carbon goes from an oxidation state of 0 to +2 (oxidation), while zinc goes from +2 to 0 (reduction). 3. **Finding a Similar Reaction**: We need to look for another reaction that also involves both oxidation and reduction processes. 4. **Analyzing Options**: - **Option 1**: Decomposition of AgCl in sunlight (not a redox reaction). - **Option 2**: Copper displacing silver in silver nitrate solution (displacement reaction, not a redox). - **Option 3**: Carbon reacting with oxygen to form carbon dioxide (combination reaction, not a redox). - **Option 4**: Copper oxide reacting with hydrogen gas to form copper and water. 5. **Evaluating Option 4**: - The reaction is: \[ \text{CuO} + \text{H}_2 \rightarrow \text{Cu} + \text{H}_2\text{O} \] - In this reaction, copper oxide (CuO) is reduced to copper (Cu), and hydrogen (H2) is oxidized to water (H2O). - Oxidation states: - Cu in CuO: +2 - Cu in elemental form: 0 - H in H2: 0 - H in H2O: +1 - Therefore, CuO is reduced (oxidation state decreases from +2 to 0), and H2 is oxidized (oxidation state increases from 0 to +1). 6. **Conclusion**: Since option 4 involves both oxidation and reduction, it is indeed a redox reaction similar to the original reaction given in the question. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **Option 4: Copper oxide reacts with hydrogen gas to produce copper and water**.
