Hi friend,

The reaction in which oxygen is being added and the hydrogen is removed is known as oxidation process.
And the reaction in which oxygen is being removed and hydrogen is being added is known as reduction process.
Therefore, ZnO + C -> Zn + CO
In this reaction both reduction and oxidation takes place together side by side.

Hope it will help u...

hey mat here is your answer ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

oxidation reaction- gain of oxygen or loss of hydrogen.

reduction reaction- gain of hydrogen or loss of oxygen.


both oxidation and reduction occur simultaneously .

ex- CuO + H2 → Cu + H2O

here CuO undergoes reduction.

and H2 undergoes oxidation.
