Question

Explain redox reaction with examples

Answer 1

Redox Reaction is a reaction in which , oxidation and reduction takes place simultaneously for eg CuO + H2 gives Cu +H2O Here, H2 gained O2 and became H2O And CuO loses O2 and becomes Cu. Hope u understood. .

Answer 2

Redox reactions can occur relatively slowly, as in the formation of rust, or much more rapidly, as in the case of burning fuel. There are simple redox processes, such as the oxidation of carbon to yield carbon dioxide (CO2) or the reduction of carbon by hydrogen to yield methane (CH4), and more complex processes such as the oxidation of glucose (C6H12O6) in the human body. Analysis of bond energies and ionization energies in water allow calculation of the redox potentials.[5][6]
