Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 ) Cl₂ + ZnBr₂ = ZnCl₂ + Br₂

In this reaction , oxidation number of Cl decreases from 0 to -1 so it is reduced and oxidation number of Br increases from -1 to 0 so it is oxidised . Hence this reaction is oxidation - reduction reaction .

2 )

Pb( ClO₄)₂ + 2KI = PbI₂ + 2KClO₄

In this reaction oxidation number of none is changing so it is not an oxidation - reduction reaction.

3 )

CaCO₃ = CaO + CO₂

In this reaction also oxidation number of none is changing so it is not an oxidation - reduction reaction.

So only first reaction is oxidation - reduction reaction.

2nd option is correct.
