Question

bitation reaction? Explain 16. Explain the following in terms of gain or loss of oxygen with two examples each. (a) Oxidation (b) Reduction​

Answer 1

Answer:   Oxidation is gain of oxygen.

2H2​+O2​→2H2​O

The hydrogen is oxidized and the oxygen is reduced.

N2​+O2​→2NO

This formation of nitric oxide oxidizes the nitrogen and reduces the oxygen.

Reduction is the loss of oxygen from a substance. For example, copper oxide can be reduced to form copper if it is reacted with hydrogen:

CuO+H2​→Cu+H2​O

Zinc oxide can be reduced to zinc metal if heated with carbon.

ZnO+C→Zn+CO
