What is the name of the reaction which is neither an oxidation nor reduction?
1- Reaction of an acid with a base. 2-Displacement reactions of ionic compounds.
The ability to react with oxygen is an example of a chemical property?
Oxygen gas is neither a physical nor a chemical property. It is a state. The property of being a gas is a PHYSICAL property, however.
Would you expect pectinases to be hydrolases oxido-reductases or transferases?
Pectinases are hydrolases because they break down the pectin molecule by catalyzing the hydrolysis reaction, where water is used to break the bonds within pectin. Oxido-reductases are enzymes involved in oxidation-reduction reactions, and transferases are enzymes that transfer functional groups between molecules, neither of which describe the function of pectinases.
What is the effect of darkness on the reduction of DPIP Explain?
Darkness means no reduction. NADP is in light reactions - DPIP is electron acceptor susbstitute for NADP... if NADP does not react in darkness (plants dont react at night and do not undergo photosynthesis) then neither should DPIP
Can a chemical reaction reaction take place in which energy is neither absorbed or released?
no
Is the Williamson ether synthesis of Phenacetin an oxidation reduction or neither?
The Williamson ether synthesis of Phenacetin is a substitution reaction to form an ether, so it is neither oxidation nor reduction. It involves the reaction of an alkyl halide with a phenol in the presence of a base to form the ether product.
What is the name of the reaction which is neither an oxidation nor reduction?
1- Reaction of an acid with a base. 2-Displacement reactions of ionic compounds.
Part of a reaction that involves only oxidation or reduction is a?
It's not entirely clear what the question is asking... but oxidation involves the loss of electrons from an atom or ion, and reduction involves the gain of electrons. The other parts of a redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction may involve atoms forming and breaking bonds, but the oxidation or reduction part is just about losing or gaining electrons. You might be talking about what is called a "half-reaction." A half-reaction is the part of the reaction that is only either the oxidation step or the reduction step. Neither is a complete reaction, but put together the two half-reactions give the overall reactions. In the oxidation half-reaction, electrons come out as products, and in the reduction half-reaction electrons go in as reactants. Remember: OIL RIG Oxidation Is Loss; Reduction Is Gain.
What can you tell by tracking oxidation numbers?
whether oxidation, reduction or neither has occured.
HCl plus NaOH reduction or oxidation?
In this reaction, HCl (hydrochloric acid) reacts with NaOH (sodium hydroxide) to produce water and NaCl (sodium chloride). There is no reduction or oxidation occurring as both HCl and NaOH are molecular compounds, not elements that can undergo redox reactions. It is a neutralization reaction where acid and base react to form a salt and water.
Is fermentation an oxidation or a reduction process?
Fermentation is not considered as an oxydation reaction. ------------------------------------------------------------------ It may not usually be considered as such, but the oxidation state of C in sugar is zero, and the oxidation state of C in ethanol is -2. Any change in oxidation state can be treated as a redox process. Loss of electrons (or an increase of oxidation state) is oxidation, gain of electrons (or a decrease of oxidation state) is reduction. The carbon that ends up in the ethanol has decreased its oxidation state from 0 to -2 so those atoms have undergone reduction. Reduction cannot exist without a subsequent oxidation, so something else has undergone oxidation. The fermentation process also makes carbon dioxide. The C in those molecules has an oxidation state of +4, so those atoms of carbon have been oxidized. So the answer is --- both.
Is an oxidation half-reaction A. Fe2 plus Fe3 plus plus e- B. Fe3 plus plus e- Fe2 plus C. Fe(s) Fe(l) D. Fe plus 2e- Fe2 plus?
A. Fe^2+ ==> Fe^3+ + e- is an oxidation reactionB. Fe^3+ +e- ==> Fe^2+ is a reduction reactionC. Fe(s) ==> Fe(l) is neither an oxidation nor a reduction reaction. It is a phase change.D. Fe + 2e- ==> Fe^2+ is not a possible reaction.
Is sulfur in this chemical reaction a oxidation agent or reduction agent in S plus H2 plus 2O2 --- H2SO4?
It is safer to claim it as neither - not least because the reaction would/does not work. Far safer to say that the sulphur is oxidised (which, you could argue, makes it a reducing agent).
The ability to react with oxygen is an example of a chemical property?
Oxygen gas is neither a physical nor a chemical property. It is a state. The property of being a gas is a PHYSICAL property, however.
What happens when an atom is not oxidized or reduced during a reaction?
When an atom is not oxidized or reduced during a reaction, it means that its oxidation state remains unchanged. This implies that the atom neither gained nor lost electrons during the reaction, maintaining its initial valence state.
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.
What is the oxidation reduction potential of hydrogen?
Definition: The standard hydrogen electrode is the standard measurement of electrode potential for the thermodynamic scale of redox potentials.The standard is determined by the potential of a platinum electrode in the redox half reaction2 H+(aq) + 2 e- → H2(g) at 25 °C.The standard hydrogen electrode is often abbreviated SHE.Also Known As: normal hydrogen electrode or NHE
