Question

What is oxidation? Write the chemical equation for the oxidation reaction for respiration​

Answer 1

Answer:

oxidation is a chemical reaction in which a molecule, atom or ion loses electrons. Oxidation is a half reaction which cannot occur on its own. It must always be accompanied by reduction, which is a chemical reaction in which a molecule, atom or ion gains electrons. Together they form what is known as a reduction-oxidation, or redox, reaction. Hence, reduction and oxidation are complementary processes: as one compound is oxidised, another is reduced. 

C6H12O6+6O2→6CO2+6H2O .

Answer 2

Answer:

oxidation is :

• addition of oxygen

• removal of hydrogen

• loss of electrons

Chemical equation for oxidation reaction of respiration is :

C6H12O6+6O2→6CO2+6H2O

In this reaction the glucose (C6H12O6) is being oxidized
