Short Answer

Expert verified
In summary: a. Redox reaction - Oxidizing agent: \(\mathrm{H}_{2}\mathrm{O}\) - Reducing agent: \(\mathrm{CH}_{4}\) - Species oxidized: C in \(\mathrm{CH}_{4}\) - Species reduced: O in \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) b. Redox reaction - Oxidizing agent: \(\mathrm{AgNO}_{3}\) - Reducing agent: \(\mathrm{Cu}\) - Species oxidized: Cu - Species reduced: Ag c. Redox reaction - Oxidizing agent: \(\mathrm{HCl}\) - Reducing agent: \(\mathrm{Zn}\) - Species oxidized: Zn - Species reduced: H d. Not a redox reaction

Step by step solution

01

Determine the oxidation states of each element

For reactants: C(-4), H(+1), O(-2) For products: C(+2), H(+1), O(-2)
02

Check for changes in oxidation states

Yes, there are changes in oxidation states: C from -4 to +2 (oxidation) O from -2 to -2 (no change) H from +1 to +1 (no change)
03

Identify the redox agents and species

Oxidizing agent: \(\mathrm{H}_{2}\mathrm{O}\) (contains species reduced, O) Reducing agent: \(\mathrm{CH}_{4}\) (contains species oxidized, C) Species oxidized: C in \(\mathrm{CH}_{4}\) Species reduced: O in \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) b. \(2 \mathrm{AgNO}_{3}(a q)+\mathrm{Cu}(s) \rightarrow \mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2}(a q)+2 \mathrm{Ag}(s)\)
04

Determine the oxidation states of each element

For reactants: Ag(+1), N(+5), O(-2), Cu(0) For products: Cu(+2), N(+5), O(-2), Ag(0)
05

Check for changes in oxidation states

Yes, there are changes in oxidation states: Ag from +1 to 0 (reduction) Cu from 0 to +2 (oxidation) N from +5 to +5 (no change) O from -2 to -2 (no change)
06

Identify the redox agents and species

Oxidizing agent: \(\mathrm{AgNO}_{3}\) (contains species reduced, Ag) Reducing agent: \(\mathrm{Cu}\) (contains species oxidized, Cu) Species oxidized: Cu Species reduced: Ag c. \(\mathrm{Zn}(s)+2 \mathrm{HCl}(a q) \rightarrow \mathrm{ZnCl}_{2}(a q)+\mathrm{H}_{2}(g)\)
07

Determine the oxidation states of each element

For reactants: Zn(0), H(+1), Cl(-1) For products: Zn(+2), Cl(-1), H(0)
08

Check for changes in oxidation states

Yes, there are changes in oxidation states: Zn from 0 to +2 (oxidation) H from +1 to 0 (reduction) Cl from -1 to -1 (no change)
09

Identify the redox agents and species

Oxidizing agent: \(\mathrm{HCl}\) (contains species reduced, H) Reducing agent: \(\mathrm{Zn}\) (contains species oxidized, Zn) Species oxidized: Zn Species reduced: H d. \(2 \mathrm{H}^{+}(a q)+2 \mathrm{CrO}_{4}^{2-}(a q) \rightarrow \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}^{2-}(a q)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)\)
10

Determine the oxidation states of each element

For reactants: H(+1), Cr(+6), O(-2) For products: Cr(+6), O(-2), H(+1), O(-2)
11

Check for changes in oxidation states

No, there are no changes in oxidation states: H from +1 to +1 (no change) Cr from +6 to +6 (no change) O from -2 to -2 (no change) Since there are no changes in oxidation states in reaction (d), it is not a redox reaction.
