Question
The following reaction is an example of a4NH3(g) + 5O2(g) → 4NO(g) + 6H2O(g)(i) displacement reaction(ii) combination reaction(iii) redox reaction(iv) neutralisation reaction
Solution
The given reaction is an example of a redox reaction.
Here's why:
A redox reaction is a type of chemical reaction where the oxidation states of atoms are changed. Oxidation involves an increase in oxidation state, while reduction involves a decrease in oxidation state.
In the given reaction, ammonia (NH3) is being oxidized to nitric oxide (NO), and oxygen (O2) is being reduced to water (H2O).
Here's how you can tell:
-
Nitrogen in NH3 has an oxidation state of -3. In NO, nitrogen has an oxidation state of +2. Since the oxidation state increased, NH3 is being oxidized.
-
Oxygen in O2 has an oxidation state of 0. In H2O, oxygen has an oxidation state of -2. Since the oxidation state decreased, O2 is being reduced.
Therefore, this is a redox reaction.
It is not a displacement reaction because no single element is replacing another in a compound.
It is not a combination reaction because more than one product is being formed.
And it is not a neutralisation reaction because no acid or base is involved.
