Either deoxidation or reduction would be a suitable word. However, note that from a pure metal, oxygen can not be removed, because none is present.

Use some other substance that will more readily combine with the oxygen. Such as carbon which combines with the oxygen leaving pure metal behind.

What are inert metals?

I did not know it either but inert means it cannot react, so my best guess is that and inert electrode is one that will not react with the ons in the electrolyte. So it wont react with oxygen and form CO2. We would not have to replace it.


What word describes the absence of oxygen?

It is referred to as a vaccum, when there are no oxygen particles in a space, namely, outer space. Technology also exists to create an artificial vaccum by allowing the oxygen to escape from a bag, or jar, or whatever it is. dying


Another word for zero oxygen environment?

Where in the reactivity series are the metals most affected by corrosion?

The rate of corrosion is directly linked to a metal's reactivity. The higher the metal in the series, the more reactive, also more susceptible to corrosion with oxygen and water. aluminum is not easy to corrode. Aluminum quickly reacts with oxygen in the air, and the oxide layer that forms protects the metal underneath from any further reaction.


What is an extremely reactive family of elements?

The Group 1 , Alkali metals. They all react with oxygen and water to form the hydroxide and release hydrogen. They all react with oxygen and water to form the hydroxide and release hydrogen. The reactivity increases down the Group . Lithium gently effervesces. Sodium 'pop's and sparks. Potassium ignites with a bang. Rubidium is moderately explosive. Caesium is violently explosive. Francium is extremely violently explosive. Francium is not reacted in an open laboratory because it is also radio-active. All the metals in Group 1 are kept under oil; no oxygen present).

What is produced when you react a metal with oxygen?

Any metal that reacts with oxygen will produce a metal oxide. For example, magnesium reacts with oxygen to produce magnesium oxide, and zinc reacts with oxygen to produce zinc oxide. It is helpful to know the general word equation: metal + oxygen -> metal oxide
