Which statement(s) is/are correct about the given reaction?

Moderate

A

C atom accepting the H is reduced, and the C atom forming a bond with OH is oxidised.
B

Given reaction is a redox reaction.
C

The average oxidation number of the two C atoms in each compound is same (-1).
D

The average oxidation number of the two C atoms in each compound is same (-2).The net effect is no change in average oxidation state.

Solution

Addition of Hydrogen is reduction and addition of Oxygen is oxidation
In acetylene average oxidation state of C -atom = -1
In acetaldehyde average oxidation state of C - atom = -1
