Question
Justify that the following reaction is redox reaction; identify the species oxidized/reduced, which acts as an oxidant and which acts as a reductant.
\[\ce{HF_{(aq)} + {OH}^-_{ (aq)}->H2O_{(l)} + {F}^ -_{ (aq)}}\]

Solution
\[\ce{HF_{(aq)} + {OH}^-_{ (aq)}->H2O_{(l)} + {F}^ -_{ (aq)}}\]
- Write oxidation number of all the atoms of reactants and products
- Since the oxidation numbers of all the species remain the same, this is NOT a redox reaction.
Result:
The given reaction is NOT a redox reaction.
