Oxidation is a chemical process.
When food is oxidized for energy in the body, it undergoes a chemical change rather than a physical change. Oxidation involves the breaking down of molecules to release energy, which is a fundamental process in our metabolism. This process transforms the chemical energy stored in food molecules into a form that the body can use for various biological functions.
2HgO → 2Hg + O2 Mercury (II) oxide → Mercury (II) + Oxygen
it is both oxidizing as well as reducing agent
Replacing iodine with other oxidizing agents can have varying effects depending on the specific agent used. For example, using stronger oxidizing agents like bromine or chlorine can lead to faster reactions and higher yields in some cases. However, using milder oxidizing agents may result in different reaction selectivity or side product formation. It is important to consider the specific properties of the oxidizing agent and how it will influence the desired reaction outcome.
An oxidizing agent supplies oxygen, and a fuel consumes oxygen.
No, acetone is not an oxidizing agent. It is a simple organic compound that is commonly used as a solvent.
chemical change:)
It's a chemical change because the apple is oxidizing. It turns brown, because of the oxygen, hence the word " oxidizing".
Mitochondria
mitochondria
Oxidation and reduction are chemical changes.
Both. A chemical reaction occurs & a physical change is noticeable.
There are no "cells" in a cell.
Supermarkets can't stop food from oxidizing however they can prevent it by using different methods such as using modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) or by using adding lemon juice to cut up apple chucks.
You can reduce the air humidity is less oxidizing metals.
The Mitochondria or Mitochondrion (Mitochondria is plural.)
No its a chemical change because the acid in the rain reacts with the copper in the statue having a reaction oxidizing it and turning it green.
2HgO → 2Hg + O2 Mercury (II) oxide → Mercury (II) + Oxygen
