(c) Cu + S → CuS is classified as a redox reaction
Explanation:
The following reactions are presented:
(a) K₂CrO₄ + BaCl₂ → BaCrO₄ + 2 KCl
(b) Pb²⁺ + 2 Br⁻ → PbBr₂
(c) Cu + S → CuS
Reaction (c) represents a redox reaction, as the oxidation states of the elements are changing. In this case:
Cu + S → CuS
In its elemental form, Cu has an oxidation state of 0, while in CuS (copper sulfide), its oxidation state changes to +2.
Similarly, S in its elemental form has an oxidation state of 0 and is -2 in CuS (copper sulfide).

A total of 0.0222 moles of NaOH are necessary to react with NH4F. \nBased on the reaction NH4F + NaOH --> NaF + NH3 + H2O, we start with: \nMass of NH4F = 0.821 g, NaOH concentration = 1 M, volume of NaOH = 25 mL. \nTo find moles: moles of NaOH = (CV)/1000. Thus, moles of NaOH = (1 * 25)/1000 = 0.025 moles of NaOH used. \nThe molar mass of NH4F is 37 g/mol, making moles of NH4F = 0.821 / 37 = 0.0222 moles. \nThis shows that NaOH is in excess, with 0.025 - 0.0222 = 0.0028 moles of NaOH remaining. Hence, 0.0222 moles of NaOH are needed to react with NH4F.
