A Levels Chemistry (9701)•9701/12/O/N/21

Explanation
Redox reactions involve electron transfer via oxidation state changes Steps:
- Identify redox by checking oxidation number changes in reactants/products.
- For A: Mg (0 to +2, oxidized), H (+1 to 0, reduced) → redox.
- For B: All elements retain states (K +1, C +4, O -2, H +1) → not redox.
- For C: Cu (+2), O (-2), H (+1), Cl (-1) unchanged → not redox.
- For D: Option missing, preventing analysis. Why D is correct:
- Not enough information; D's reaction undefined, so cannot confirm as redox despite statement. Why the others are wrong:
- A is redox due to oxidation state shifts.
- B is acid decomposition, no electron transfer.
- C is neutralization, no oxidation state changes.
Final answer: Not enough information.
