Which chemical equation represents a redox reaction?

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"Which chemical equation represents a redox reaction? A. Mg(ClO3)2 + 2HCl → MgCl2 + 2HClO3   B. CO + H2O → H2 + CO2 C. 2NH4NO3 + CuCl2 → 2NH4Cl + Cu(NO3)2 D. Na2SO3 + FeBr2 → 2NaBr + FeSO3 "

B. CO + H2O → H2 + CO2

Explanation:

The reactions that involve loss and gain of electrons are called oxide-reduction reactions. In the oxidation reaction, electrons are lost, while the reduction reaction consists of gaining electrons.

Oxidation can occur in three circumstances: when oxygen is added to the substance, when a substance loses hydrogen or when the substance loses electrons. Example: fruit salads tend to darken when they come into contact with air, this is because oxygen acts to promote fruit oxidation. A tip to avoid this is to add lemon or orange juice, as the vitamin C present in citrus fruits prevents the oxidizing action of oxygen on the salad.

Reduction, in turn, is the reverse and also occurs in three ways: when a substance loses oxygen, when it gains hydrogen or when it gains electrons. Example: when the copper oxide (black) is placed in an appropriate apparatus (chamber) for its reduction to occur, the hydrogen gas comes in contact with the super heated copper oxide and, as a result, it loses oxygen and gradually goes away. turning pink as it is being reduced to copper.

An example of a redox reaction is CO + H2O → H2 + CO2
