Chapter 18.1, Problem 18.1.1SR

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Need to identify the non-redox reaction among the set of given reaction.

Concept introduction:

Three form of definition can be given for oxidation and reduction.

1. 1) Gain of oxygen is called oxidation and removal of oxygen is called reduction.
2. 2) Removal of hydrogen is called oxidation and addition of hydrogen is called reduction. 
3. 3) In terms of electrons oxidation is defined as removal of electrons and reduction is defined as addition of electrons.

In a redox reaction one species will get oxidized by releasing electron, while the other species will accept electrons and get reduced. Generally reaction always involves the transfer of electrons from one atom to another.

To find: The non-redox reaction among the set of given reactions
