Concept of oxidation and reduction?
a reversible chemical reaction in which one reaction is an oxidation and the reverse is a reduction
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.
When an atom looses an electron what is called?
It would be a positive ion, which is called an anion. (pronounced an-ion)
What reaction is reduction?
In chemistry, reduction is considered the gaining of electrons. Oxidation is the lose of electrons. They go together in reactions called redox (reduction/oxidation). You cannot have a reduction without also having an oxidation.
What do half-reactions show?
Type your answer here... The number of electrons transferred in the reaction
What identifies an oxidation-reduction reaction'?
An oxidation-reaction involve a transfer of electrons.
How do you figure out if a reaction is an oxidation or reduction reaction?
OIL RIG Oxidation is Loss Reduction is Gain... That's all I know =)
What do half reactions show?
They show the oxidation an reduction halves of a reaction
What happens during a reduction/oxidation reaction?
An oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two species. An oxidation-reduction reaction is any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a molecule, atom, or ion changes by gaining or losing an electron
Concept of oxidation and reduction?
a reversible chemical reaction in which one reaction is an oxidation and the reverse is a reduction
Single reaction where oxidation and reduction take?
half reaction
What is an oxidation reduction or redox reaction?
ik
Are all acid base reactions also oxidation reduction reactions?
No, most of them are just acid base reaction and not followed by oxidation reduction reaction.
What is the term for a reaction in which a substances gains electrons?
When a substance gains an electron or electrons, this is known as "reduction". For every reduction reaction, there is also an oxidation reaction. So, whatever substance "gave" the electrons, underwent oxidation.
HCl plus NaOH reduction or oxidation?
It is neither oxidation nor reduction it is simply a double displacement reaction.
What occurs at the cathode of a galvanic cell?
An oxidation half-reaction
What is the most completely describes a redox reaction?
an oxidation and reduction reaction.
