Question

Question: \(2CuI \rightarrow Cu + CuI_{2}\), the reaction is....

2CuICu+CuI22CuI \rightarrow Cu + CuI_{2}, the reaction is.

A

Redox

B

Neutralisation

C

Oxidation

D

Reduction

Answer

Redox

Explanation

Solution

2CuI+1CuO+CuI2+2\overset{+ 1}{2CuI} \rightarrow \overset{O}{Cu} + \overset{+ 2}{CuI_{2}}. Oxidation and Reduction both occur so the reaction is redox.
