1) Reduction of a moncarboxylic acid results in a primary alcohol.
One needs a reducer for this. Common reducers are lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4) and other hydrogen containing compounds. Even hydrogen itself is a reducer but not a very effective one. Nonetheless I take H2 as a reducer.
R-COOH + H2 -> R-COH + H2O
Example:
CH3-COOH +H2-> CH3-COH + H2O
(acetic acid) (ethanol)
2)Oxidation of a monocarboxylic acid gives CO2 and H20 as products.
CH3-COOH + 2 O2 -> 2 CO2 +2 H2O

What it the stoichiometry of the reaction between NBS and ascorbic acid?
NBS, or N-bromosuccinimide has two components when reacting with ascorbic acid, an oxidation and a reduction component. Oxidation of ascorbic acid is C6H8O6 - -> C6H6O6 + (2H+) + 2e and the reduction of NBS is C4H4BrNO2 + (2H+) + 2e --> C4H5NO2 + HBr. Combining them, the full stoichiometric equation is C6H8O6 + C4H4BrNO2 --> C6H6O6 + C4H5NO2 + HBr. In this instance, all coefficients are 1.
What is the chemical equation of ammonia with sulfuric acid?
Sulfuric acid just adds a proton to ammonia to give ammonium: H+ + NH3 -> NH4+ or H2SO4 + NH3 -> NH4+ + HSO4-
What is the general equation for metal and acid?
The general equation for a metal reacting with an acid is: Metal + Acid → Salt + Hydrogen gas
Are all acid base reactions also oxidation reduction reactions?
No, not all acid-base reactions are oxidation-reduction reactions. Acid-base reactions involve the transfer of protons (H+ ions) between substances, while oxidation-reduction reactions involve the transfer of electrons between substances. However, some acid-base reactions can also be oxidation-reduction reactions if electron transfer occurs along with proton transfer.
What is the balanced chemical equation for the reaction of zinc with dilute hydrochloric acid and equation of it's oxidation half reaction also reduction half reaction?
Balanced chemical equation: Zn (s) + 2HCl (aq) --> ZnCl2 (aq) + H2 (g) Oxidation half-reaction: Zn (s) --> Zn2+ (aq) + 2e- Reduction half-reaction: 2H+ (aq) + 2e- --> H2 (g)
