Classify the following reactions as either redox, acid-base, or precipitation. a) (cl2) + (2oh-) --> (cl-) + (clo-) + (h2o). b) already got. c) (nh3) + (h+) --> (nh4+). d) (4fe) + (3o2) --> (2fe2o3). e) (ca) + (f2) --> (caf2)

Answer :

(a) This is a redox reaction.

(c) This is an acid-base reaction.

(d) This is a redox reaction.

(e) This is a redox reaction.

Explanation :

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Acid-base reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which an acid and base react to give salt and water as a product.

Precipitation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which an insoluble salt formed when two aqueous solutions are combined.  The insoluble salt that settle down in the solution is known an precipitate.

(a)

This reaction is a redox reaction in which the oxidation state of Cl changes from (0) to (-1) and shows reduction and the oxidation state of Cl changes from (0) to (+1) and shows oxidation.

(c)

This reaction a an acid-base reaction in which is a base and is an acid react to give as a salt.

(d)

This reaction is a redox reaction in which the oxidation state of Fe changes from (0) to (+3) and shows oxidation and the oxidation state of O changes from (0) to (-2) and shows reduction.

(e)

This reaction is a redox reaction in which the oxidation state of Ca changes from (0) to (+2) and shows oxidation and the oxidation state of F changes from (0) to (-1) and shows reduction.

whats the meaning of /

radioactive decay occurs in unstable atomic nuclei – that is, ones that don't have enough binding energy to hold

the nucleus together due to an excess of either protons or neutrons.
