In all Redox reactions some things are oxidized (meaning those elements lose electrons) and some things are reduced (meaning those elements gain electrons). The phrase to remember is OIL RIG - Oxidation Is Losing Reduction Is Gaining.

Classify the reaction of hydrogen gas with oxygen gas to form water in three different ways?
reduction of O2 oxidation of H2 combustion of H2
Why the formation of water can be classified as a synthesis combustion or oxidation-reduction reaction?
The formation of water can be classified as a combustion reaction because hydrogen is heated in oxygen, and it is considered a synthesis reaction because two elements - hydrogen and oxygen - combine to form 1 compound - water.
What is it called when chlorine becomes chloride?
When chlorine becomes chloride, the chlorine gains an electron to form an anion. This process is called oxidation. Oxidation always occurs with reduction (loss of an electron from another substance) in an oxidation reduction reaction.
A reaction occurs when a substance reacts with oxygen to produce energy in the form of heat and light?
This is an oxidation reaction (combustion, burning).
HCl plus NaOH reduction or oxidation?
It is neither oxidation nor reduction it is simply a double displacement reaction.
How many what are oxidation-reduction reactions metal with a nonmetal synthesis combustion precipitation or combustion?
All 4 are considered oxidation-reduction reactions
Is oxidation-reduction the reaction that burning wood in a fireplace generate heat and light in the form of flames?
Burning wood in air/oxygen is a combustion reaction, a type of oxidation-reduction reaction.
What are three other ways to classify oxidation-reduction reactions?
Combustion, Syntheses, and Decomposition
Classify the reaction of hydrogen gas with oxygen gas to form water in three different ways?
reduction of O2 oxidation of H2 combustion of H2
What other category of reactions types could the combustion of magnesium be?
Oxidation-reduction, as magnesium is oxidized in this reaction
What is the opposite of combustion?
The opposite compound in the carbon cycle is carbon dioxide. (We breathe in air, remove the oxygen, breathe out carbon dioxide.) The opposites of reactions that use oxygen (aerobic) are those that don't (anaerobic).
Why the formation of water can be classified as a synthesis combustion or oxidation-reduction reaction?
The formation of water can be classified as a combustion reaction because hydrogen is heated in oxygen, and it is considered a synthesis reaction because two elements - hydrogen and oxygen - combine to form 1 compound - water.
What is it called when chlorine becomes chloride?
When chlorine becomes chloride, the chlorine gains an electron to form an anion. This process is called oxidation. Oxidation always occurs with reduction (loss of an electron from another substance) in an oxidation reduction reaction.
When is oxidation not combustion?
Combustion is a type of oxidation; combustion is the reaction of organic materials when the products are carbon dioxide and water.
A reaction occurs when a substance reacts with oxygen to produce energy in the form of heat and light?
This is an oxidation reaction (combustion, burning).
How do some atoms gain or lose electrons to form ions?
Oxidation: losing electrons Reduction: gaining electrons OIL RIG (oxidation is losing-reduction is gaining) ^ helpful memory tool.
Why is combustion reactions an oxidation reactions in small amount?
Combustion is an oxidation reaction - a reaction with oxygen.
