Which of the following reactions are redox reactions?

A) 4Li(s)+O2(g)→2Li2O(s)
B)Mg(s)+Fe2+(aq)→Mg2+(aq)+Fe(s)
C)Pb(NO3)2(aq)+Na2SO4(aq)→PbSO4(s)+2NaNO3(aq)
D)HBr(aq)+KOH(aq)→H2O(l)+KBr(aq)

Respuesta :

Answer:

B) Mg(s)+Fe2+(aq)→Mg2+(aq)+Fe(s) is redox reaction.

Explanation:

A Redox reaction is a reaction in which two simultaneous effects occur, the oxidation of a reducing agent and the reduction of an oxidizing agent.

The oxidizing agent is that chemical element that tends to capture these electrons, leaving a state of oxidation lower than it had, suffering a reduction.

The reducing agent is that chemical element that supplies electrons to the medium, increases its oxidation state, that is, it oxidizes.

because:

A) 4Li(s)+O2(g)→2Li2O(s)  is a combination reaction

B)Mg(s)+Fe2+(aq)→Mg2+(aq)+Fe(s) is a redox reaction

C)Pb(NO3)2(aq)+Na2SO4(aq)→PbSO4(s)+2NaNO3(aq) is a Ion-exchange reaction

D)HBr(aq)+KOH(aq)→H2O(l)+KBr(aq) is an acid-base reaction

Answer:

4Li(s)+O2(g)→2Li2O(s)

Mg(s)+Cu2+(aq)→Mg2+(aq)+Cu(s)

Explanation:

Li is the reducing agent

O2 is the oxidizing agent

Cu2+ is the oxidizing agent

Mg is the reducing agent
