Chemistry Question on Redox reactions

Which of the following is not an example of redox reaction?

A

CuO+H2Cu+H2O{ CuO + H2 \rightarrow Cu + H2O}

B

Fe2O3+3CO2Fe+3CO2{ Fe2O3 + 3CO \rightarrow 2Fe + 3CO2 }

C

2K+F22KF{ 2K + F2 \rightarrow 2KF}

D

BaCl2+H2SO4BaSO4+2HCl{ BaCl2 + H2SO4 \rightarrow BaSO4 + 2HCl}

Answer

BaCl2+H2SO4BaSO4+2HCl{ BaCl2 + H2SO4 \rightarrow BaSO4 + 2HCl}

Explanation

Solution

BaCl2+H2SO4BaSO4+2HCl{BaCl2 + H2SO4 \rightarrow BaSO4 + 2HCl} is not a redox reaction as it does not involve any change in oxidation number. It is an example of double decomposition reaction.
