Which of the following is an oxidation-reduction reaction? which of the following is an oxidation-reduction reaction? ba(c2h3o2)2 (aq) + na2so4 (aq) → baso4 (s) + 2nac2h3o2 (aq) cu (s) + 2agno3 (aq) → 2ag (s) + cu(no3)2 (aq) hcl (aq) + naoh (aq) → h2o (l) + nacl (aq) agno3 (aq) + hcl (aq) → agcl (s) + hno3 (aq) h2co3 (aq) + ca(no3)2 (aq) → 2hno3 (aq) + caco3 (s)

The only oxidation- reduction reaction is Cu (s) + 2AgNO3 (aq) → 2Ag (s) + Cu(NO3)2

Explanation:

An oxidation-reduction reaction is a chemical reaction that involves an electron transfer between two species. This will lead to a change in oxidation number of a molecule, atom, or ion changes by gaining or losing an electron.

Some atoms have different possible oxidation numbers.

H has oxidation number +1

O has oxidation number -2

The oxidation number of an individual atom is 0.

The total oxidation number of all atoms in: a neutral species is 0 and in an ion is equal to the ion charge.

⇒ Ba(C2H3O2)2 (aq) + Na2SO4 (aq) → BaSO4 (s) + 2NaC2H3O2

(C2H3O2)2 has an oxidation number of -2. So Ba has an oxidation number of +2

In BaSO4 has SO4 an oxidation number of -2 and Ba has an oxidation number of +2

This means Ba doesn't change its oxidation number.

In Na2SO4 Na has an oxidation of +1; in NaC2H3O2 Na has an oxidation of +1

This means Na doesn't change its oxidation number.

⇒ Cu (s) + 2AgNO3 (aq) → 2Ag (s) + Cu(NO3)2

Cu has an oxidation number of 0

In Cu(NO3)2, NO3 has an oxidation number of -1 so Cu has an oxidation number of +2

In 2AgNO3, NO3 has an oxidation number of -1 so Ag has an oxidation number of +1

Ag has an oxidation number of 0

⇒ HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) → H2O (l) + NaCl

The oxidation number of Cl and Na do not change

⇒ AgNO3 (aq) + HCl (aq) → AgCl (s) + HNO3

In AgNO3 Ag has an oxidation number of +1

In AgCl Ag has an oxidation number of +1

In HCl  Cl has an oxidation number of -1

In AgCl Cl has an oxidation number of +1

The oxidation number of Cl and Ag do not change

⇒ H2CO3 (aq) + Ca(NO3)2 (aq) → 2HNO3 (aq) + CaCO3 (s)

In Ca(NO3)2 Ca has an oxidation number of +2

In CaCO3 Ca has an oxidation number of +2

In Ca(NO3)2 N has an oxidation number of +5

In HNO3 N has an oxidation number of +5

In H2CO3  C has an oxidation number of +4

In CaCO3 C has an oxidation number of +4

The only oxidation- reduction reaction is Cu (s) + 2AgNO3 (aq) → 2Ag (s) + Cu(NO3)2
