In the reaction where NO₃^- is reduced to NO, nitrogen changes from a higher oxidation state (+5 in NO₃^-) to a lower oxidation state (+2 in NO). This reduction process involves gaining electrons and therefore is considered a reduction reaction.
Both oxidation and hydrolysis are chemical weathering processes that break down rocks and minerals. Oxidation involves the reaction of minerals with oxygen, while hydrolysis involves the reaction of minerals with water. Both processes contribute to the breakdown of rocks over time through chemical reactions.
Equations that separate the oxidation from the reduction parts of the reaction
Hydrolysis is a type of chemical weathering, which includes oxidation, reduction, carbonation, solution, and hydration. If water and a compound meet together, hydrolysis is the reaction that occurs.
Cl2 + 2Cu --> 2CuCl Oxidation reaction is Cu --> Cu+ + 1e Reduction reaction is Cl + 1e --> Cl- Redox reaction is Cu + Cl --> Cu+ + Cl-
Hydrolysis is a type of chemical weathering, which includes oxidation, reduction, carbonation, solution, and hydration. If water and a compound meet together, hydrolysis is the reaction that occurs.
Oxidation is a reaction in which an atom, molecule or compound loses an electron. OIL = Oxidation Is Lost; RIG= Reduction Is Gain LEO = Lose Electron in Oxidation; GER = Gain Electron in Reduction (LEO the lion says GER) Hydrolysis is a reaction in which a molecule or compound is broken down, by the addition of a water molecule (it is NOT the breaking of a water molecule into oxygen and hydrogen - that is a different reaction called electrolysis). An example of hydrolysis is the breaking down of maltose into 2 glucose molecules. A molecule of water is added, usually with an acid to catalyse the reaction, into a solution of maltose. You can therefore say that hydrolysis is a type of oxidation reaction, being as maltose loses glucose molecule (hence losing the electrons in the atoms of glucose).
both reactions are redox reactions
An oxidation-reduction reaction can be determined by looking for changes in the oxidation states of the elements involved. If an element loses electrons (oxidation) and another gains electrons (reduction), it is likely an oxidation-reduction reaction.
another name for an exchange reaction but metathesis reaction. This reaction usually occurs in hydrolysis and is AB+CD=AD+CB
OIL RIG Oxidation is Loss Reduction is Gain... That's all I know =)
An oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two species. An oxidation-reduction reaction is any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a molecule, atom, or ion changes by gaining or losing an electron
This process is the thermal decomposition.

When a substance gains an electron or electrons, this is known as "reduction". For every reduction reaction, there is also an oxidation reaction. So, whatever substance "gave" the electrons, underwent oxidation.
