What is reduction ....give one example ..​

Answer 1

Answer:

The action or fact of making something smaller or less in amount, degree, or size.

An example of a reduction is when iron reacts with oxygen, forming a chemical called rust. In that example, the iron is oxidized and the oxygen is reduced. This is called redox. A blast furnace reverses that reaction, using carbon monoxide as a reducing agent to reduce the iron.
