Metal displacement redox reaction explain with example
Answers
The mnemonic stands for a reducing agent loses electrons and is oxidized, while an oxidizing agent gains electrons and is reduced. The formation of hydrogen fluoride is an example of a redox reaction. Another example of a redox reaction is the formation of hydrogen fluoride.
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]
