Question

Explain the term oxidation and reduction with examples

Answer 1

Answer:

loss of hydrogen and gain of oxygen is call oxidation and loss of oxygen and gain of hydrogen is called Reduction

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Both oxidation and reduction are the terms of redox reaction.

Oxidation:

• Loss of hydrogen
• addition of oxygen
• Loss of electrons
• Increase in oxidation state

Reduction:

• Loss of oxygen
• Addition of hydrogen
• Addition of electrons
• Decrease in oxidation state

    EXAMPLE:

Zn + 2HCl ⇒ ZnCl2 + H2

Here zinc is being oxidized as its oxidation state changes from 0 to +2.

And Hydrogen is reduced because its oxidation state decreases from +2 to 0.
