    Which one of the following reactions involves oxidation reduction?

    A)  \[{{H}_{2}}+B{{r}_{2}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}2HBr\]

    B)  \[NaBr+HCl\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}NaCl+HBr\]

    C)  \[HBr+AgN{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}AgBr+HN{{O}_{3}}\]

    D)  \[2NaOH+{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}N{{a}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}+2{{H}_{2}}O\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     [b] \[NaBr+HCl\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}NaCl+HBr\] It is a substitution reaction. [c] \[HBr+AgN{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}AgBr+HN{{O}_{3}}\] It is a substitution and precipitation reaction because\[AgBr\]is precipitated during this reaction. [d] \[2NaOH+{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}N{{a}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}+2{{H}_{2}}O\] It is a neutralisation reaction because acid and base are reacting to produce salt and \[{{H}_{2}}O\]. [a] \[\overset{0}{\mathop{{{H}_{2}}}}\,+\overset{0}{\mathop{B{{r}_{2}}}}\,\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}2{{H}^{+}}B{{r}^{-}}\] This is oxidation reduction reaction because during this reaction oxidation number are changing.
