Question

Indicate in each reaction which one is oxidised or reduced if any:

CuSO4+4KI2CuI+I2+2K2SO4

In the above reaction, which one of the following is oxidised?

  1. CuSO4
  2. I2
  3. KI
  4. None of these

A
CuSO4
B
I2
C
KI
D
None of these
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The balanced chemical equation is CuSO4+4KI2CuI+I2+2K2SO4.
The oxidation number of copper changes from +2 to +1.
Thus, copper is reduced as its oxidation number decreases.
The oxidation number of iodine changes from -1 to 0.
Thus, iodine is oxidized as its oxidation number increases.
