Question

Observe the following reaction and answer the questions given below :
$BaS{O}_4+4C\to BaS+4CO$
(a) What type of reaction is it? Justify.
(b) Give one more example:

Answer 1

(a) The given reaction is redox reaction. $C$ is oxidised to $CO$ and $BaS{O}_4$ is reduced to $BaS$
(b) Another example of redox reaction is:
$Zn+CuS{O}_4\to ZnS{O}_4+Cu$
In this reaction, $Zn$ is oxidised to $ZnS{O}_4$ and $Cu$ is reduced to $CuS{O}_4$.
