Classify the above into (a) hydrolysis, (b) redox and (c) hydration reactions.


(i) PbS(s) + H2O2(aq)    PbSO4(s) + H2O(I)

H2O2 is acting as an oxidizing agent in the reaction. Hence, it is a redox reaction. 

(ii) 2MnO-4(aq) + 5H2O2(g)     6H+(aq)  2Mn2+(aq) + 8H2O(I) + 5O2(g)

H2O2(aq) is acting as a reducing agent in the acidic medium, thereby oxidizing MnO-4(aq). Hence, the given reaction is a redox reaction.

(iii) CaO(s) + H2O(g)  Ca(OH)2(aq)

The reactions in which a compound reacts with water to produce other compounds are called hydrolysis reactions. The given reaction is hydrolysis.

(iv) 2AICI3(g) + 3H2O(I)      AI2O3(s) + 6HCL(aq)
