10 Questions
Which of the following best describes oxidation in a redox reaction?
The loss of electrons
Which type of redox reaction involves the transfer of only one electron?
Electron-transfer
In the rusting of iron, what happens to the oxidation state of iron atoms?
It increases
What is the other name for oxidation-reduction reactions?
Redox reactions
Which of the following is NOT commonly associated with oxidation reactions?
Formation of hydrogen gas
What is redox?
Redox is a type of chemical reaction where the oxidation states of substrate change. It involves both oxidation (loss of electrons) and reduction (gain of electrons).
What are the two classes of redox reactions?
The two classes of redox reactions are electron-transfer and atom transfer.
How are oxidation and reduction defined in redox reactions?
Oxidation is the loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state, while reduction is the gain of electrons or a decrease in oxidation state.
What happens to the oxidation state of iron atoms in the rusting of iron?
The oxidation state of iron atoms increases as iron converts to an oxide during the rusting process.
What can serve the same function as oxides in oxidation reactions?
Other chemical species can serve the same function as oxides in oxidation reactions.
