Which of the following is an oxidation-reduction reaction?
A) HBr(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaBr(aq) + H2O(l)
B) NaI(aq) + AgNO3(aq) → AgI(s) + NaNO3(aq)
C) Pb(C2H3O2)2(aq) + 2 LiBr(aq) → PbBr2(s) + 2 LiC2H3O2(aq)
D) Ba(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → BaCl2(aq) + H2(g)
E) All of the above are oxidation-reduction reactions.

Answer:

D) Ba(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → BaCl2(aq) + H2(g)

Explanation:

In a redox reaction, One atom is gaining electrons (Reduction) whereas other is loosing electrons (Oxidation). In the reactions:

A) HBr(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaBr(aq) + H2O(l)

As sodium is always +1 and Br always -1, this is not a redox reaction.

B) NaI(aq) + AgNO3(aq) → AgI(s) + NaNO3(aq)

Sodium is always +1 and nitrate ion is -1. This is not a redox reaction

C) Pb(C2H3O2)2(aq) + 2 LiBr(aq) → PbBr2(s) + 2 LiC2H3O2(aq)

Acetate ion, C2H3O2 is -1 as Br is -1, lithium is +1 and Pb +2, This is not a redox reactoin

D) Ba(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → BaCl2(aq) + H2(g)

Barium is 0 as Ba(s) but +1 as BaCl2. Is oxidizing

Hydrogen is +1 as HCl but 0 as H2. Is reducting.

This reaction is an oxidation-reduction reaction
