(A) Reaction of hydrogen sulphide with chlorine- (II) Oxidation
Definition of oxidation.
It is defined as a chemical process that involves the addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen from an element or a compound in a reaction.
Addition of oxygen
Removal of hydrogen
(B) Splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen - (III) Electrolysis
Electrolysis is the process of splitting up a solution (electrolyte) into its constituents by passing an electric current through it.
(C) Reaction of copper oxide with carbon - (I) Reduction
Definition of reduction.
It is the reverse of oxidation. ie. removal of oxygen or the addition of hydrogen to an element or a compound.
Removal of oxygen.
Addition of hydrogen.
Redox reaction
(D) Formation of hydrogen from water and coke. (carbon) -(IV) Bosch process
Hydrogen is produced industrially by the process called Bosch process.
