Question

Which of the following is an oxidation-reduction reaction? ZnS(s) + 2O2(g) ZnSO4(s) CaO(s) + H2O(l) Ca(OH)2(s) 6Li2O(s) + P4O10(g) 4Li3PO4(s) SO2(g) + H2O(l) H2SO3(aq)

Answer 1

A. ZnS(s) + 2O2(g) Right arrow. ZnSO4(s)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

ZnS(s) + 2O₂(g) ⇒ZnSO₄(s)

Further explanation

The oxidation-reduction reaction or abbreviated as Redox is a chemical reaction in which there is a change in oxidation number

Oxidation is an increase in oxidation number, while reduction is a decrease in oxidation number.

Reaction

ZnS(s) + 2O₂(g) ⇒ZnSO₄(s)

S²⁻ (-2 in ZnS) to S⁺⁶(+6 in ZnSO₄) ⇒ oxidation

O₂(0 in O₂) to O⁻²(-2 in ZnSO₄)⇒ reduction
