CH2S(g) + O2(g) → 2Cn + SO2(g)

What is the change in the oxidation number of copper in the reaction?

A
0 to + 2
B
0 to + 1
C
C + 1 to 0
D
+ 2 to + 1
Ask EduPadi AI...
Correct Option: C

In the reactant;

Cu2S

2 Cu - 2(1) = 0

2 Cu = 2

Cu = (\frac{2}{2})

Cu = +1

In the product, Cu

Cu = O

The oxidation number of Cu in Cu2S and Cu respectively is +1 and 0 respectively
