Question

What is redox reaction? Explain with an example

Answer 1

Hey!

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

★A substance gains oxygen and in reduction a substance uses oxygen.

★The reaction in oxidation and reduction both takes place is called redox reaction.

______________________________________________________________

☆Important terms to understand Redox reaction :-

_______________________________

★Gaining of electrons is generally known as Reduction

★Loss of electrons is generally known as oxidation.

_______________________________

☆More definition :-

★The addition of oxygen to a substance is called oxidation

★The removal of hydrogen from a substance is called oxidation

_______________________________

★The addition of hydrogen to a substance is called Reduction.

★The removal of oxygen from a substance is called Reduction.

_______________________________

★Oxidising agent = The substance which gives oxygen for oxidation is called oxidising agent.

★The substance which removes hydrogen is also called an oxidising agent.

______________________________________________________________

★Reducing agent = The substance which gives hydrogen for reduction is called reducing agent.

★The substance which removes oxygen is also called reducing agent.

Answer 2

$\huge \bf Redox \: reaction :$

In a chemical reaction when both oxidation and reduction takes place simultaneously then it is called Redox reaction.

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀

$\huge \bf Example :$

$\bf CuO + H_{2} \: ➞ \: Cu + H_{2}O$

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀

$\bf Here$

$\bf Substance \: oxidised : H_{2}$

$\bf Substance \: reduced : CuO$

$\bf Oxidising \: agent : CuO$

$\bf Reducing \: agent : H_{2}$
