Question

In which of the following reaction, dihydrogen acts as an oxidising agent?
  1. Ca+H2
  2. H2+O2
  3. H2+F2
  4. CuO+H2

A
H2+F2
B
H2+O2
C
CuO+H2
D
Ca+H2
Solution
Verified by Toppr

As the calcium is having 2 electrons more (1s2,2s2,2p6,3s2,3p6,4s2) than the inert gas configuration, so it can give its two electrons to two hydrogens leading to the formation of CaH2 and cause oxidation in Ca.

Ca+H2CaH2

Here, hydrogen is acting as the oxidising agent.
