What type of replacement is metal water plus metal hydroxide hydrogen?
I think you mean metal + water = metal hydroxide + hydrogen. This is a displacement reaction. It can also be called a redox reaction.
What happens when C4H10O is treated with Hydrogen?
if C4H10O react with hydrogen atom,it will undergo a REDOX reaction which will produce,C4H10{BUTHANE} and H2O{WATER},but if react with hydrogen gas it form buthanol{C4H10OH}
Which of the reactants in photosynthesis produces oxygen during the reactions of photosynthesis?
That would be the water. Light form the sun is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Oxygen, as we know, is released as a waste product that we use. Hydrogen is then carried to another series of reactions to create energy for the plant.
What needs to be considered in balancing redox reactants?
First and foremost you must balance the electrons lost and gained. Then you balance the quantities of each type of atom, adding in water and hydrogen ions as necessary.

Why does it take several redox reaction in a cell to make water from hydrogen and oxygen?
Without getting into the specifics of the electron transport chain, redox reactions are needed because electrons need to be shuffled around to provide the right conditions for the oxygen and hydrogen to combine. After respiration, there are many hydrogen ions (protons) sitting around while "their" electrons are being passed back and forth in continuous redox reactions. The very last redox reaction is when the electronegative oxygen accepts the electrons -- then four hydrogen ions come in to bond with O2 to make two water molecules.

What changes considered as oxidation reduction reaction burning of magnesium ribbon or electrolysis of water?
both reactions are redox reactions
In photosynthesis redox reactions ultimately transfer electrons from where?
§Photosynthesis, like respiration, is a redox (oxidation-reduction) process -Water molecules are split apart by oxidation, which means that they lose electrons along with hydrogen ions (H+) -Then CO2 is reduced to sugar as electrons and hydrogen ions are added to it This means that the electrons are moved from a water molecule to a carbon dioxide molecule. H2O >> CO2

Which word equation represents the reaction that produces water from the hydrogen and oxygen?
Water, being an incredibly common and versatile compound, can form from several different reactions. In organic chemistry, water is the product along with carbon dioxide in the combustion of a hydrocarbon. In acid-base reactions (or neutralization reactions), water is formed along with a salt. **Water can form in redox (reduction/oxidation) reactions with hydroxide and a hydrogen cation (or alternatively hydronium).** In control laboratory settings, water can be synthesized with the high energy collision of oxygen and hydrogen diatomic molecules. The simplest chemical equation would be: H++OH- --> H2O (The reaction starred above)

Which are examples of redox reactions a banana turning brown a car rusting burning propane or mixing sodium hydroxide with hydrochloric acid to form table salt and water?
a banana turnig brown a car rusting burning propane are all ex of redox reactions :) quit reading this and get back to work!
Why does it take several redox reactions in a cell to make water from the hydrogen and oxygen?
If you have ever seen hydrogen combine with oxygen directly you will remember that an explosion was involved. In classroom situations the amounts of the two gases used are very tiny and the explosion is safe but violent reactions like this cannot be allowed in a living cell. The other thing to note is that it was necessary to use a spark to set off the explosion. Again, this would not be possible in a living organism. All of the reactions in a cell have to be done in such a way as to cause no damage. Hence, the need for several steps. I almost forgot: when the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen occurs if the energy provided is needed by the cell (or even if it isn't) the cell must have a way of capturing it in a useful form. There would be no point in releasing energy and allowing it to go to waste.
Where do the hydrogen ions comes from for the photosystems of the light-dependent reactions?
splitting of water molecules
Which two reactants are also redox reactions?
