Answer:
E) C₂H₄(g) + H₂(g) ⇒ C₂H₆(g)
Explanation:
Which ONE of the following is an oxidation–reduction reaction?
A) PbCO₃(s) + 2 HNO₃(aq) ⇒ Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) + CO₂(g) + H₂O(l). NO. All the elements keep the same oxidation numbers.
B) Na₂O(s) + H₂O(l) ⇒ 2 NaOH(aq). NO. All the elements keep the same oxidation numbers.
C) SO₃(g) + H₂O(l) ⇒ H₂SO₄(aq). NO. All the elements keep the same oxidation numbers.
D) CO₂(g) + H₂O(l) ⇒ H₂CO₃(aq). NO. All the elements keep the same oxidation numbers.
E) C₂H₄(g) + H₂(g) ⇒ C₂H₆(g). YES. <u>C is reduced</u> and <u>H is oxidized</u>.
Two hydrogen and two oxygen multiply for two
