Oxidation takes place at anode and reduction at cathode?
Oxidation takes place at anode and reduction at cathode - yes, it is correct.
Where does reduction occur in an electrochemical cell?
The cathode.
Can oxidation or reduction takes place alone why or why not what are such reactions called answer in chemistry?
These reactions are called redox reactions.Isolated reduction/oxidation is not possible.
Is it possible to have a reaction in which oxidation takes place but reduction does not?
Oxidation is characterized by the loss of electrons, and reduction is characterized by the gain of electrons. Since there must be an electron loser and an electron receiver, oxidation and reduction are always complimentary.
Where oxidation and reduction takes place?
Oxidation of water occurs wherever there is photosynthesis. Plants and organisms that perform photosynthesis take in water and other minerals and convert them to sugar, but the conversion to sugar creates a biproduct of free oxygen. This oxygen then oxidizes the water.
Does oxygen have to be present for an oxidation-reduction reaction to take place?
nope
A single reaction where oxidation and reduction take place is called?
a redox reaction
Why is it possible for both reduction and oxidation to take place at the same time?
There are chemical handbooks and journals filled with examples of oxidation reduction reactions.
How many divisions normally take place in meiosis to accomplish the reduction of the number of chromosomes?
2
When does the reduction of chromosomes from the diploid to the haploid number take place?
During meiosis
Oxidation takes place at anode and reduction at cathode?
Oxidation takes place at anode and reduction at cathode - yes, it is correct.
Where does reduction occur in an electrochemical cell?
The cathode.
What Disaster Risk Reduction activities can take place in the school?
Some Disaster Risk Reduction activities that can take place in schools include conducting regular emergency drills, developing and implementing disaster response plans, educating students and staff on emergency procedures, and ensuring that the school building meets safety standards for various hazards like earthquakes or fires.
What happens at the cathode in an electrolytic cell?
Reduction occurs at the cathode in an electrolytic cell.
Can oxidation or reduction takes place alone why or why not what are such reactions called answer in chemistry?
These reactions are called redox reactions.Isolated reduction/oxidation is not possible.
Why must oxidation and reduction occur simultaneously?
Because for oxidation to take place the electrons lost by the substance that is oxidized must be accepted by atoms or ions of another substance. Also, for reduction to occur the electrons gained by the substance that is being reduced must be transferred from the atoms of ions of another substance. Therefore, oxidation and reduction are complementary processes: that is to say that oxidation cannot occur without reduction and visa versus.
Is it possible to have a reaction in which oxidation takes place but reduction does not?
Oxidation is characterized by the loss of electrons, and reduction is characterized by the gain of electrons. Since there must be an electron loser and an electron receiver, oxidation and reduction are always complimentary.
