s2- ion when oxidised what happens
Answers
Answer:
The terms oxidation and reduction can be defined in terms of the adding or removing oxygen to a compound. while this is not the most robust definition, as discussed below, it is the easiest to remember.
Oxidation and Reduction with respect to Oxygen Transfer
Oxidation is the gain of oxygen.
Reduction is the loss of oxygen.
For example, in the extraction of iron from its ore:
Because both reduction and oxidation are occurring simultaneously, this is known as a redox reaction.
An oxidizing agent is substance which oxidizes something else. In the above example, the iron(III) oxide is the oxidizing agent. A reducing agent reduces something else. In the equation, the carbon monoxide is the reducing agent.
