Which of the following reactions is an example of a non-metal displacement redox reaction?
Options
- ACr ₂ O ₃( s ) + 2 Al ( s ) Al ₂ O ₃( s ) + 2 Cr ( l )
- B2 H ₂ O ₂( aq ) 2 H ₂ O ( l ) + O ₂( g )
- CCl ₂( g ) + 2 KBr ( aq ) 2 KCl ( aq ) + Br ₂( l )
- D2 NaH ( s ) 2 Na ( s ) + H ₂( g )
Correct answer
C. Cl ₂( g ) + 2 KBr ( aq ) 2 KCl ( aq ) + Br ₂( l )
Step-by-step solution
In Cr ₂ O ₃( s ) + 2 Al ( s ) Al ₂ O ₃( s ) + 2 Cr ( l ) , aluminium displaces chromium from its oxide. This is a metal displacement reaction. In 2 H ₂ O ₂( aq ) 2 H ₂ O ( l ) + O ₂( g ) , hydrogen peroxide decomposes into water and oxygen. This is a disproportionation reaction. In Cl ₂( g ) + 2 KBr ( aq ) 2 KCl ( aq ) + Br ₂( l ) , chlorine displaces bromine from potassium bromide. Since both chlorine and bromine are non-metals, this is a non-metal displacement reaction. In 2 NaH ( s ) 2 Na ( s ) + H ₂( g ) , sodi
