Which element is the most likely to be reduced?

The element that is most likely to be reduced is the element that has the highest reduction potential (E°) in a given redox reaction. The element with a more positive reduction potential is more likely to undergo reduction.


Example of oxidation-reduction reaction?

One example of an oxidation-reduction reaction is the reaction between copper metal and silver nitrate solution. In this reaction, copper metal is oxidized (loses electrons) to form copper ions, while silver ions from the silver nitrate solution are reduced (gain electrons) to form solid silver metal. This results in a redox reaction where electrons are transferred from copper to silver ions.


What is oxidized in the reaction Mn HCl -- MnCl2 H2?

The way to tackle this to look at reactants and at the products, and this where oxidation numbers come in. Remembering that oxidation is loss of electrons and reduction is gain, (OILRIG is an acronym that is sometimes used). Mn metal is changed to Mn2+ so it is oxidised H in HCl has a +1 oxidation number and in H2 zero so it is reduced. Cl in HCL is at -1 and is -1 in MnCl2 so it is neither oxidised nor reduced.


How can you tell if an element has been reduced?

The reactant that reduces another atom


When elemental Lithium metal reacts with Elemental Bromine what is oxidized and what is reduced?

In this reaction, Lithium is oxidized to Lithium ions (Li+) and Bromine is reduced to Bromide ions (Br-). Oxidation occurs when an element loses electrons (in this case, Lithium loses an electron), while reduction occurs when an element gains electrons (Bromine gains an electron).

What is oxidized in H2 Cl2?

in the reaction of H2 and Cl2 hydrogen is oxidised. Chlorine is reduced.


What does H2 do to N2 to make NH3?

It reacts with it. The reaction is a redx reaction. Nitrogen is reduced (its oxidation number goes from 0 to -3) and hydrogen is oxidised (its oxidation number goes from 0 to +1)


Is 2Zn plus HCl equals ZnCl2 plus H2 a redox reaction?

yes as zinc is oxidised and hydrogen is reduced


How can tell if an element has been oxidized or reduced in a reaction?

If an element has gained electrons, it has been reduced. If an element has lost electrons, it has been oxidized. This can be determined by comparing the oxidation state of the element before and after the reaction.


Which element decreases its oxidation number in the following reaction?

An element that decreases its oxidation number in a chemical reaction is undergoing reduction. In the given reaction, the element that is reduced is the one that gains electrons and decreases its oxidation number.


What occurs to reducing agent in a reduction reaction?

An element is REDUCED. By that, it means that an element of a compound or an element in itself has gained electron/s when the reaction occurs. You can find this out when you see a change in their oxidation number.

Is a rusting car a redox reaction?

Yes, rusting in a car involves a redox reaction where iron in the metal reacts with oxygen in the air to form iron oxide (rust). In this reaction, iron is oxidized from its elemental state to iron oxide, while oxygen is reduced to form water.
