Class 11 Chemistry - Chapter Hydrogen NCERT Solutions | Consider the reaction of water with F2 a
Consider the reaction of water with F2 and suggest, in terms of oxidation and reduction, which species are oxidised or reduced.
The reaction between fluorine and water can be represented as:
2F2(g) + 2H2O(I) → 4H+(aq) + 4F-(aq) + O2(g)
This is an example of a redox reaction as water is getting oxidized to oxygen, while fluorine is being reduced to fluoride ion.
The oxidation numbers of various species can be represented as:
Fluorine is reduced from zero to (-1) oxidation state. A decrease in oxidation state indicates the reduction of fluorine. Water is oxidized from (-2) to zero oxidation state. An increase in oxidation state indicates oxidation of water.
