  2. $\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{OH}\xrightarrow{\ \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4\ \ }\text{CH}_2=\text{CH}_2+\text{H}_2\text{O}$
  3. $\ \ \ \ \ \ \ {\text{O}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{O}}\\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \|\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \|\\\text{CH}_3\text{C OH}+\text{CH}_3\text{NH}_2\rightleftharpoons\text{CH}_3\text{CO}^-+\text{CH}_3\text{NH}^+_3$

Answer

  1. In this redox reaction, H in LiAlH4 gets oxidized because of the addition of oxygen atom that leads to the formation of OH- Propanone (CH3COCH3) gets reduced because of addition of hydrogen atom to give propan-2-ol (CH3 CH(OH)CH3).
  2. This is not a redox reaction as neither hydrogen or oxygen or electron is removed or added.
  3. This is not a redox reaction as neither hydrogen or oxygen or electron is removed or added.
