Three reactions in which oxygen is transferred are shown.
Equation A: 2H2+O2→2H2O\mathrm{2H_{2} + O_{2} \rightarrow 2H_{2}O}2H2+O2→2H2O (hydrogen burns in oxygen)
Equation B: Mg+H2O→MgO+H2\mathrm{Mg + H_{2}O \rightarrow MgO + H_{2}}Mg+H2O→MgO+H2 (magnesium reacts with steam)
Equation C: CuO+H2→Cu+H2O\mathrm{CuO + H_{2} \rightarrow Cu + H_{2}O}CuO+H2→Cu+H2O (copper(II) oxide reacts with hydrogen)
Which substance is reduced in one of these reactions and is formed in another?
Water
Hydrogen
Copper
Copper(II) oxide
