What is the answer of oxidation and its effect in everyday life?

Oxidation is a chemical reaction where a substance loses electrons. In everyday life, oxidation can cause metal to rust, fruit to turn brown, and oils to become rancid. It is also involved in the process of food spoilage and the browning of cut fruit.


Can oxidation be prevented by treating cut-up fruit with vitamin C?

yes


Does sprinkling sugar onto fruit stop oxidation?

Sprinkling sugar onto fruit can slow down oxidation because sugar creates a barrier that limits the exposure of fruit to oxygen. However, it is not as effective as other methods like using lemon juice or storing fruit in an airtight container.


What do you do when take the skin off a fruit to see what color the fruit is inside?

You expose the flesh of the fruit to oxidation. Also, if you do this in a store (yikes!) you ruin the fruit; you make it unsuitable for someone else to buy. That is stealing, unless you buy the fruit regardless of what you find.


What rots faster fruit open or in saran rap?

Open due to oxidation and potential for insects and other things to get in.


Why does lemon juice slow down the process of oxidation?

Oxidation is cause by (obviously) the oxygen in the air. When you cut up fruit for instance, the parts without skin which are exposed will turn brown quickly. Squeezing lemon juice over your fruit (apple, pear, banana, ect) will stop oxidation because the juice contains Vitamin C (ascorbic acid). The ascorbic acid reacts with the oxygen preventing the browning on the apple (fruit). In theory, other citric fruits would do the same thing. Whenever making an apple pie (or pear whatever) squeeze a lemon over the pieces as you cut them up (and toss) this will stop the oxidation process while you are cutting up all the fruit.


Does putting vasaline on pumpkins keep them from rotting?

Petroleum Jelly on the cut edges of a pumpkin will slow the oxidation and rotting of the fruit.


How can fruit show the presence of oxygen in the air?

When fruit is cut and exposed to air, it undergoes a process called oxidation. Oxygen in the air reacts with enzymes in the fruit, causing enzymes to break down and the fruit to turn brown. This browning process is a visual indicator of the presence of oxygen in the air.


Write 5 applications of oxidation and reduction in daily life?

Oxidation: rancidity , corrosion ,Oxidation reactions occur in the batteries, we use daily. Oxidation of Fruit and Vegetable Slices ,Decay of living matter by atmospheric oxidation, into CO2 and H2O reduction (i'm not so sure! but still): FUELING THE SPACE SHUTTLE. , COMBUSTION AND EXPLOSIONS , EXPLOSIVES , The primary process of reducing ore to produce metals is discussed in the article on Smelting.


What chemical property does sliced fruit have?

Sliced fruit can undergo enzymatic browning, where enzymes in the fruit react with oxygen in the air to produce brown pigments. This process can affect the appearance and flavor of the fruit. Additionally, slicing fruit increases its surface area, allowing for faster oxidation and spoilage.


Is rotting fruit a chemical change?

no. Rotting fruit is just changing the form of the fruit not making an entirely new substance. So, it is a physical change. Sorry ... rotting is a chemical change - the bacteria and molds are "eating" the fruit and changeing it into the eqivalent of poo. Drying fruit would be mostly a physical change.


When a peeled banana turns black is a?

normal process called enzymatic browning, where enzymes within the fruit cause oxidation when exposed to air. This oxidation leads to the blackening of the banana's peel. It is not harmful to eat the banana but may affect its taste and appearance.
