Options
- ANaBr   +   HCl   →   NaCl   +   HBr
- BHBr   +   AgNO 3   →   AgBr   +   HNO 3
- CH 2   +   Br 2   →   2 HBr
- DNa 2 O   +   H 2 SO 4   →   Na 2 SO 4   +   H 2 O
Correct answer
C. H 2   +   Br 2   →   2 HBr
Step-by-step solution
Redox reaction is a reaction in which both oxidation and reduction occurs simentaneously. Oxidation is gain in oxidation number Reduction is loss in oxidation number. 1) Na   + 1 Br - 1   +   H   + 1 Cl - 1   →   Na   + 1 Cl - 1   +   H   + 1 Br - 1 there is no change in the oxidation numbers taking place, so no oxidation and no reduction in this reaction. 2) H   + 1 Br - 1   +   Ag   + 1 N + 5   O - 2 3   →   Ag
