Question

The number of redox reactions from the following equations are:
a. H2S+Fe3+Fe2++S+H
b. I+IO3+HI2+H2O
c. Bi(s)+NO3+HNO2+Bi3++H2O
d. I+O2(g)+H2OI2+OH
e. Cu(s)+AuAu(s)+Cu2+

Solution

a. Fe3+ is reduced to Fe2+ and H2S is oxidised to S.
b. I is oxidised to I2 and H is reduced to H2O.
c. Bi is oxidised to Bi3+ and H is reduced to H2O.
d. I is oxidised to I2, and O2 and H2O are reduced to OH.
e. Au is reduced to Au and Cu is oxidised to Cu2+.
All the above are redox reactions.
Hence, the total number of redox reactions is 5.
