Question

Define Oxidation and Reduction Potentials.

Answer 1

Answer:

• Redox potential is a measure of the tendency of a chemical species to acquire electrons from or lose electrons to an electrode and thereby be reduced or oxidised respectively. Redox potential is measured in volts (V), or millivolts.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Oxidation reduction potential (ORP), also known as REDOX, is a measurement that reflects the ability of a molecule to oxidize or reduce another molecule: ... Reduction is the gain of electrons, so reducers donate electrons to other molecules.The key difference between oxidation potential and reduction potential is that oxidation potential indicates the tendency of a chemical element to be oxidized, whereas the reduction potential indicates the tendency of a chemical element to be reduced.
