Redox reactions consist of reduction and oxidation reactions
oxidation reactions are the giving out of electrons, the oxidation number of the species giving out the electrons increases during oxidation 
reduction reactions are taking in electrons and the oxidation number of the species taking in electrons reduces after reduction
in the reaction Ca + Cl₂ --> CaCl₂
oxidation numbers of Ca in Ca - 0 and CaCl₂ - +2
oxidation numbers of Cl in Cl₂ - 0 and CaCl₂ - -1
oxidation number of Ca has increased from 0 to +2 therefore Ca is oxidised

In the industrial synthesis of hydrogen, mixtures of CO and H2 are enriched in H2 by allowing the CO to react with steam. The ch
saw5 [17]

Answer:

CO(g) + H2(g) + H2O(g) ==> CO2(g) + 2H2(g)

Explanation:

In the industry, hydrogen is prepared from water and hydrocarbons. Water gas being the major method of preparation of hydrogen industrially.

The water-gas reaction is an industrial process in which steam is passed over red-hot coke giving a gaseous mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen:

C + H2O(g) → CO + H2.

The mixture of CO and H2 is Futher passed through steam according to the equation:

CO(g) + H2(g) + H2O(g) ==> CO2(g) + 2H2(g) to give hydrogen and carbon dioxide.
