Is alcohol an oxidizer?
No, fire is a process of oxidation-reduction.
What is the difference between oxidation and dehydrogenation agents?
Dehydrogenation is a type of oxidation reaction which involves the removal of an hydrogen atom(H) from a molecule or compound. Oxidation reaction in chemistry is simply the removal of an electron from an atom, molecule or compound. A substance that is oxidised loses an electron. There are a lot of different reactions that are oxidation reactions, dehydrogenation is just one example of an oxidation reaction.
An example of oxidation?
Hematite
Heat given off by a fire in a fire place is an example of?
Radiation
The oxidation state of CoCO3?
Co = +2 oxidation C = +4 oxidation O = -2 oxidation
What is slow oxidation rapid oxidation?
Slow oxidation is caused by combining iron with oxygen. A nail rusting is an example of slow oxidation.
Is fire example of nuclear energy?
No. Fire is a chemical reaction, oxidation actually, just a very fast form.
What is oxidation called?
Fire.
What is the state of fire?
Rapid oxidation.
What is the fastest form of oxidation?
Fire
What is the difference between rapid oxidation and slow oxidation?
Rapid oxidation is a fire. Its burning. The oxygen reacts with the substance very quickly in a fire. Slow oxidation is rusting. Rust happens very slowly but its the same chemical reaction.
What is another name for rapid oxidation?
Another name for rapid oxidation is fire, or combustion.
How does each fire create light?
Fire is rapid oxidation of a substance. Oxidation is the lose of electron.The lost electron scatters into our eyes which is light
How does chemical reaction help fire?
Fire is the result of an oxidation reaction.
What is the oxidation for HSO4-?
The oxidation number of oxygen in oxyanions such as this is usually considered to be -2.
What is terminal oxidation?
Terminal oxidation is oxidation on the end of a molecule. An example would be oxidation of a terminal carbon atom in a carbon chain.
Why can sulfur dioxide be considered an anti-oxidant?
Sulfur dioxide can protect drinks (the most important example is wines), foods etc. from oxidation.
