Question

Reduction more examples​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Examples of Reduction :-

• The copper ion undergoes reduction by gaining electrons to form copper. The magnesium undergoes oxidation by losing electrons to form the 2+ cation.

Or, you can view it as magnesium reducing the copper(II) ions by donating electrons. Magnesium acts as a reducing agent.

• An example of a reduction is when iron reacts with oxygen, forming iron oxides such as those called rust. The iron is oxidized and the oxygen is reduced. This is called redox. A blast furnace reverses that reaction, using carbon monoxide as a reducing agent to reduce the iron.

• Iron rusting and wood-rotting are good examples of gradual oxidation.
