Question
  1. What type (redox, acid-base, precipitation) are the reactions below? For the redox reactions, identify the element that is oxidized and reduced, as well as the oxidizing and reducing agent. For the elements that are oxidized or reduced indicate the oxidation number before and after the reaction occurs.

(a)     FeCl3       +          Cu      ⟶        FeCl2       +          CuCl

(b)     CuSO4       +          Pb(NO3)2         ⟶       Cu(NO3)2         +          PbSO4

(c)     NH4NO3   ⟶      N2O     +          2 H2O

Introduction

Chemical reactions occur when reactant molecules collide with sufficient energy and orientation to break and form chemical bonds. The identities of the atoms and the total amount of matter are conserved in a chemical reaction, as described by the law of conservation of mass. Chemical reactions can be classified into different types based on their characteristics, such as redox, acid-base, and precipitation reactions.
