Oxygen in the air can cause sliced fruit to brown, a process called enzymic browning (an oxidation reaction). Phenols and the enzyme phenolase are found in the cells of the apple, and when these are exposed to oxygen in the air, for example through slicing, the oxygen causes a reaction.

Does sprinkling sugar onto fruit stop oxidation?

What is the oxidation state of oxygen in H2O2?
O = -2 oxidation state H = +1 oxidation state
What is the oxidation number of HClO?
Hydrogen's oxidation number is +1.Chlorin's oxidation number is +1.Oxygen's oxidation number is -2.
What is the oxidation of SO2?
S = +4 oxidation state O = -2 oxidation state
Determine the oxidation state of KCIO2?
K = +1 oxidation state Cl = +3 oxidation state O = -2 oxidation state
Can oxidation be prevented by treating cut-up fruit with vitamin C?
yes
What do you do when take the skin off a fruit to see what color the fruit is inside?
You expose the flesh of the fruit to oxidation. Also, if you do this in a store (yikes!) you ruin the fruit; you make it unsuitable for someone else to buy. That is stealing, unless you buy the fruit regardless of what you find.
What rots faster fruit open or in saran rap?
Open due to oxidation and potential for insects and other things to get in.
Why does lemon juice slow down the process of oxidation?
Oxidation is cause by (obviously) the oxygen in the air. When you cut up fruit for instance, the parts without skin which are exposed will turn brown quickly. Squeezing lemon juice over your fruit (apple, pear, banana, ect) will stop oxidation because the juice contains Vitamin C (ascorbic acid). The ascorbic acid reacts with the oxygen preventing the browning on the apple (fruit). In theory, other citric fruits would do the same thing. Whenever making an apple pie (or pear whatever) squeeze a lemon over the pieces as you cut them up (and toss) this will stop the oxidation process while you are cutting up all the fruit.

Does putting vasaline on pumpkins keep them from rotting?
Petroleum Jelly on the cut edges of a pumpkin will slow the oxidation and rotting of the fruit.
Write 5 applications of oxidation and reduction in daily life?
Oxidation: rancidity , corrosion ,Oxidation reactions occur in the batteries, we use daily. Oxidation of Fruit and Vegetable Slices ,Decay of living matter by atmospheric oxidation, into CO2 and H2O reduction (i'm not so sure! but still): FUELING THE SPACE SHUTTLE. , COMBUSTION AND EXPLOSIONS , EXPLOSIVES , The primary process of reducing ore to produce metals is discussed in the article on Smelting.
The oxidation state of CoCO3?
Co = +2 oxidation C = +4 oxidation O = -2 oxidation
Why do some fruits change colour when exposed to air?
When fruit flesh is exposed to air, it experiences oxidation, much like iron does. This reaction doesn't result in the rust that iron's reaction does, but it is responsible for the brown coloring that this exposed fruit flesh takes on.
What is oxidation rust?
Oxidation is defined as the interaction between oxygen molecules and all the different substances they may contact, from metal to living tissue. Technically, however, with the discovery of electrons, oxidation came to be more precisely defined as the loss of at least one electron when two or more substances interact. Those substances may or may not include oxygen. (Incidentally, the opposite of oxidation is reduction - the addition of at least one electron when substances come into contact with each other.) Sometimes oxidation is not such a bad thing, as in the formation of super-durable anodized aluminum. Other times, oxidation can be destructive, such as the rusting of an automobile or the spoiling of fresh fruit.

What is the oxidation nu?
Oxidation number is oxidation states of an element. It can be positive or negative.
