Question

application of redox reaction

Answer 1

Applications of Redox Reactions

Combustion: Combustion is a type of oxidation-reduction reaction and hence it is a redox reaction. An explosion is a fast form of combustion and hence explosion can be treated as a redox reaction. Even the space shuttle uses redox reactions. The combination of ammonium perchlorate and powdered aluminium inside the rocket boosters gives rise to oxidation-reduction reaction. Electrochemistry also finds its application with redox reactions. The study of the relationship between chemical and electrical energy is defined as electrochemistry. The battery used for generating DC current uses redox reaction (oxidation-reduction) to produce electrical energy.
Electrochemistry: Electrochemistry also finds its application with redox reactions. The study of the relationship between chemical and electrical energy is defined as electrochemistry. The battery used for generating DC current uses redox reaction (oxidation-reduction) to produce electrical energy
Electrochemical cell: Batteries or electrochemical cells used in our day-to-day life are also based on redox reactions. For example, storage cells are used in vehicles to supply all the electrical needs of the vehicles.
Photosynthesis: Green plants convert water and carbon dioxide into carbohydrates and this process is defined as photosynthesis.The reaction is given as: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Answer 2

A few examples of redox reactions in everyday life are discussed in terms of photosynthesis, decay, respiration, biological processes, corrosion/rusting, combustion and batteries. produced as fuel for its metabolic process. The reaction of photosynthesis is sensitized by chlorophyll.
