Question

In which of the following transformation, oxygen is not the reducing agent? (A) Ag 2 O arrow 2 Ag +(1/2) O 2 (B) 4 NH 3+3 O 2 arrow 2 N 2+6 H 2 O (C) 2 F 2+2 H 2 O arrow 4 HF + O 2 (D) 2 AgNO 3+ H 2 O 2 arrow 2 Ag +2 HNO 3+ O 2

NH 3 is oxidized to N 2 by O 2. Thus, O 2 is the oxidizing agent In (a), (c) and (d), oxygen is a reducing agent

Q. In which of the following transformation, oxygen is not the reducing agent?

$A g_{2} O \to 2 A g + \frac{1}{2} O_{2}$

$4 N H_{3} + 3 O_{2} \to 2 N_{2} + 6 H_{2} O$

$2 F_{2} + 2 H_{2} O \to 4 H F + O_{2}$

$2 A g N O_{3} + H_{2} O_{2} \to 2 A g + 2 H N O_{3} + O_{2}$

$N H_{3}$ is oxidized to $N_{2}$ by $O_{2}$ . Thus, $O_{2}$ is the oxidizing agent
In (a), (c) and (d), oxygen is a reducing agent

Q. In which of the following transformation, oxygen is not the reducing agent?

Ag2​O→2Ag+21​O2​

4NH3​+3O2​→2N2​+6H2​O

2F2​+2H2​O→4HF+O2​

2AgNO3​+H2​O2​→2Ag+2HNO3​+O2​

NH3​ is oxidized to N2​ by O2​. Thus, O2​ is the oxidizing agent In (a), (c) and (d), oxygen is a reducing agent

$A g_{2} O \to 2 A g + \frac{1}{2} O_{2}$

$4 N H_{3} + 3 O_{2} \to 2 N_{2} + 6 H_{2} O$

$2 F_{2} + 2 H_{2} O \to 4 H F + O_{2}$

$2 A g N O_{3} + H_{2} O_{2} \to 2 A g + 2 H N O_{3} + O_{2}$

$N H_{3}$ is oxidized to $N_{2}$ by $O_{2}$ . Thus, $O_{2}$ is the oxidizing agent
In (a), (c) and (d), oxygen is a reducing agent
