Hello students, in this video we are going to talk about redox reactions.
00:05
So, what are redox reactions? redox reactions are reactions in which both reduction and oxidation takes place.
00:14
Now, the common thing about reduction and oxidation is that there is a change in the oxidation state of the central atom.
00:24
So, now i'm going to give you some examples and we will see which one of them is a redox reaction and which one is not.
00:42
So, the first reaction is nai aqueous plus agno3 aqueous giving rise to agi solid plus nano3 aqueous.
01:00
Now, let us see the oxidation states.
01:03
So, here the oxidation state for na is plus 1 and for iodine it is minus 1, for ag it is plus 1, for no3 it is minus 1 and here also for ag it is plus 1 and i it is minus 1 and for na it is plus 1 and for no3 it is minus 1.
01:22
So, there is no change in oxidation.
01:27
So, this is not a redox reaction.
01:42
Now, let us take a look at another example.
01:48
For the second example, i have hcl aqueous reacting with lioh aqueous forming licl aqueous plus h2o liquid.
02:03
So, let us see the oxidation state.
02:06
Here h is plus 1, hcl is minus 1, here li is plus 1, oh is minus 1 and inside oh the o is minus 2 and h is plus 1.
02:19
Here also o is minus 2, h is plus 1 and cl is minus 1 and li is plus 1.
02:26
So, here also there is no change in the oxidation state.
02:34
So, it is not a redox reaction...
