Because oxygen supports combustion.
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.
Hematite
An element that can form a chloride with a general formula of MCl2 is considered to have a +2 oxidation state, and an element that can form a chloride with a general formula of MCl3 is considered to have a +3 oxidation state. Some examples include iron, with FeCl2 and FeCl3, and aluminum, with AlCl2 and AlCl3.
oxidation. Oxygen reacts with minerals in rocks to form oxides, which causes the rocks to break down and weather over time. Rusting of iron minerals is a common example of this process.
Plants are not typically considered agents of erosion. Instead, they can help prevent erosion by stabilizing soil with their roots.
No. Fire is a chemical reaction, oxidation actually, just a very fast form.

Fire
Rapid oxidation.
Fire is the result of an oxidation reaction.
Another name for rapid oxidation is fire, or combustion.
Fire is an example of thermal energy because it is produced through the rapid oxidation of fuel, leading to the release of heat and light energy. The high temperature of a fire results from the conversion of chemical energy stored in the fuel into thermal energy. Essentially, fire is a form of thermal energy that is generated by a combustion process.
Sulfur dioxide can protect drinks (the most important example is wines), foods etc. from oxidation.
A fire is an oxidation reaction.
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.
Fire is rapid oxidation. Oxidation is the combining of oxygen and a fuel. No oxygen, nothing to combine.
Slow oxidation refers to a chemical reaction that occurs at a gradual pace, often producing heat or energy slowly, while rapid oxidation happens at a much quicker rate, releasing energy rapidly, such as in combustion or explosions. The speed of the oxidation process is influenced by factors like temperature, pressure, and the presence of catalysts.
