Topic: REDOX REACTIONS AND BASICS OF CHEMISTRY

1. What are the oxidation number of the underlined elements in each of the following and
how do you rationalise your results ?

2. While sulphur dioxide and hydrogen peroxide can act as an oxidising as well as
reducing agents in their reactions, ozone and nitric acid act only as oxidants. Why?

3.  Balance the following redox reactions:

H2O2(aq) + Fe2+(aq) ———-> Fe3+(aq) + H2O(l) (in acidic solution)

(d) Cr2O72- (aq) + S02 (g)——> Cr3+ (aq) + SO42-(aq) (in acidic solution)

4. NO2 is formed when 0.740 g of O3 reacts with 0.670 g of NO. What is the limiting
reagent?

5. The empirical formula of Boron Hydride is BH3. Calculate the molecular formula when
the measured mass of the compound is 27.66.
