16 Three reactions used in the manufacture of sulphuric acid are shown.
1 S + O2 → SO2
2 2SO2 + O2 → 2SO3
3 SO3 + H2O → H2SO4
Which of these reactions are redox reactions?
A 1 only
B 3 only
C 1 and 2 only
D 2 and 3 only
answer is c. Anyone help tell me why?

i know but show how, the equations please?
In equation 1 : Sulfur is oxidized since it gained oxygen..Oxygen molecules are reduced into atoms.
In equation 2 : Same as the previous one
In equation 3 :Sulfur trioxide is oxidized but the oxidation state of oxygen remained constant.
So equation 1,2 there was an oxidation and reduction due to the change in the Oxidation state of oxygen molecule
In equation 3, only oxidation took place
SO3 oxidized and H2o remained..
That way we could consider any gain of oxygen as a redox reaction not just oxidation when speaking about atoms reacted with molecules..

help plz ?? can someone explain how is the answer is B ? :SView attachment 12068
Consider the equation where
The more reactive halogen displaces the less reactive one.Since,iodine is nearly the least reactive so it can't displace any halogen ,except At which is rarely used,..
So X2 is Chlorine..
Consider chlorine is passed through aqueous potassium iodide,the result will be potassium chloride and iodine(in solution)..
Potassium iodide is colourless and iodine solution is yellow brown.

Now he
can someone help with question 38, june 2006 Bio? :D
i don't get why it is C :rolleyes:
He is asking the least effect , that did not lead too much of growth . You would eliminate B & D . you're left with A & C !!! C is more Logic . First I was like A then I said that C is more logic to eleminate predators didnot have great effect on the growth .

And also population means same species and I think they mean Humans .... Did you get it ?
