Q4.

1. The O.N. of S increases from -2 to 0. So it is undergoing oxidation and O.N. of Cl2 decreases from 0
to -1. So it is undergoing reduction. Therefore it is a redox reaction.
2. In this redox reaction, CuO is getting reduced to Cu since Oxygen is getting removed. So, the
conversion of CuO to Cu is reduction reaction. H2 is getting oxidised to H2O. So, it is oxidation
reaction.
3. Oxidation state of Fe changes from 0 to +2 and oxidation state of Cu changes from +2 to 0.
4. Here I- is oxidised to I2 and MnO4 - is reduced to MnO2.
5. In this reaction, Pb is getting oxidised to PbSO4 and PbO2 is reduced to PbSO4.
