CBSE TEST PAPER 03 CLASS XI CHEMISTRY (Redox Reactions) Topic : Types of Redox Reduction [ANSWERS]

Ans 1.

The different types of redox reactions are (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) Combination reactions Decomposition reactions Displacement reactions Disproportionation reactions.

Ans 2. Ans 3.

The above equation represents a combination reaction. Fluorine is so reactive that it can replace chloride bromide and iodide ions in solution and it attacks water and displaces the oxygen of water.

Ans 4. Ans 5.

Fluorine is the strongest oxidizing agent. F- ions cannot be converted to F2 by chemical means because fluorine is the strongest oxidizing agent.

Ans 6.

In a disproportionation reaction an element in one oxidation state is simultaneously oxidized and reduced.

Ans 7.

ClO4- does not disproportionate because in this oxoanion chlorine is present in its highest oxidation state that is +7 whereas in ClO-, ClO2- and ClO3-, chlorine exists in + 1, +3 and +5 respectively.

Ans 8.

The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is an example of disproportionation reaction where oxygen experiences disproportionation reaction.

Less reactive metals such as Mg and fFe react with steam to produce dihydrogen gas
Mg + 2H2O Mg (OH)2 + H2 Fe + 3H2O Fe2 O3 + 3H2.
