    Which of the following is a redox reaction?

    A) \[\operatorname{NaCl} + KN{{O}_{3}} \to  NaN{{O}_{3}} + KCl\]

    B) \[{{\operatorname{CaCO}}_{2}}+ 2HCl \to  CaC{{I}_{2}} + {{H}_{2}}{{C}_{2}}{{O}_{4}}\]

    C) \[\operatorname{Mg} {{\left( OH \right)}_{2}} + 2N{{H}_{4}}Cl \to  MgC{{l}_{2}} + 2N{{H}_{4}}OH\]

    D) \[\operatorname{Zn} +2AgCN \to  2Ag + Zn {{\left( CN \right)}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\begin{align}   & \operatorname{Zn} + 2AgCN \to 2Ag + Zn {{\left( CN \right)}_{2}} \\  & \operatorname{Zn}\to  Z{{n}^{2+}} + {{Z}_{e}}^{-} \\  & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\operatorname{oxidation} \\  & {{\operatorname{Ag}}^{+}}+{{e}^{-}}\to Ag \\  & \operatorname{reduction} \\ \end{align}\] As both oxidation and reduction takes place in this reaction.
