1. Explain: Oxidation, reduction, oxidizing agent, reducing agent (in terms of electron transfer) 2. What is competitive electron transfer? Explain using an example. 3. Explain disproportionation reaction with an example. 4. Give three differences between oxidation number and valency. 5. Find the oxidation no. of underline element: a) NaH2PO4 b) K2MnO4 c) H2S2O7 d) KAl(SO4)2. 12H2O e) *C3O2 (paradox examples) f) *Br3O8 g) *S4O62- h) **Fe3O4 (mixed oxide) i) **Mn3O4 j) **Pb3O4 6. Why do the following reactions proceed differently? Pb3O4+8HCl⟶3PbCl2+Cl2+4H2O 2PbO+4HNO3⟶2Pb(NO3)2+ PbO2 + 2H2O 7. Give reason for the following: a) SO2 and H2O2 can act as oxidizing as well reducing agent. b) AgF2 is unstable compound. It is very strong O.A. c) O3 and HNO3 acts as only O.A. d) Though alkaline KMnO4and acidic KMnO4 both are used as oxidants, yet in the manufacturing of benzoic acid from toluene we use alcoholic KMnO4 as an oxidant. e) When conc. Sulphuric acid with inorganic salt used it produces HCl gas, but if the mixture contains bromide, then we get red vapours of Br2. f) ClO41- do not shows disproportionation reaction but ClO21- shows disproportionation reaction.
8. Balance the following in acidic medium:
a) Cr2O72- + SO32- → Cr3+ + SO42- b) MnO41- + Fe2+ → Mn2+ + HSO41- c) H2O2 + Fe2+ → Fe3+ + H2O 9. Balance the following in basic medium: a) MnO41- + Br1- → MnO2 + BrO31- b) I1- + MnO41- H2O → I2 + MnO2 + OH1- c) P4 + OH1- → PH3 +HPO21- (hint: disproportionation reaction) 10. Predict the product pf electrolysis in each of the following: a) AgNO3 (aq) with Ag electrode b) AgNO3 (aq) with Pt electrode c) Dil. H2SO4 with Pt electrode.
