oxidation
The process of leaves producing oxygen is a physical and chemical process. It involves photosynthesis which is a chemical reaction that converts sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen. This process occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.
Oxidation is a chemical process.
Photosynthesis
carbon dioxide and oxygen
Photosynthesis in plants adds oxygen to the air. That's because the process uses H2O (water). Photolysis (splitting with light) uses sunlight, or whatever source of light is being used by the plant, to split the water into H+ (positively charged hydrogen ions) and O2, oxygen atoms. The plant only needs the hydrogen ions, so the oxygen is released through the stomata of the plant's leaves. It then enters the atmosphere.
Respiratory system
No, compressing oxygen gas is a physical process, not a chemical one. The oxygen molecules themselves do not undergo any chemical changes during compression; they are simply being packed more closely together.
Combustion. The burning of any material.
Yes, the decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen is a chemical process. It involves breaking the bonds between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water molecules to form new compounds (hydrogen gas and oxygen gas).
The process that adds gases to the atmosphere is volcanic activity, which releases gases such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide. The process that removes gases from the atmosphere is photosynthesis, where plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
The chemical weathering process caused by oxygen and water acting on iron is called oxidation. This process results in the formation of iron oxide, commonly known as rust.
This is a chemical change. When oxygen binds to hemoglobin, it forms a new compound with a different chemical composition. This process involves breaking and forming chemical bonds.
