Chapter 4, Problem 4.39P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The oxidized and reduced species should be identified.

Concept Introduction:

When in a reaction a species gets oxidized and the other gets reduced, it is known as a Redox reaction.

Loss of electrons is Oxidation.

Addition of Oxygen is Oxidation.

Removal of Hydrogen is Oxidation.

For example-

Na(g)Na++e-

Gain of electrons is Reduction.

Removal of Oxygen is Reduction.

Addition of Hydrogen is Reduction.

12Cl2(g)+e-Cl-.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The species which acts as an oxidizing agent and which acts a reducing agent should be identified.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Answer true or false. (a) When a substance is oxidized, it loses electrons. (b) When a substance gains electrons, it is reduced. (c) In a redox reaction, the oxidizing agent becomes reduced. (d) In a redox reaction, the reducing reagent be comes oxidized. (e) When Zn is converted to Zn2 ion, zinc is oxidized. (f) Oxidation can also be defined as the loss of oxygen atoms and/or the gain of hydrogen atoms. (g) Reduction can also be defmed as the gain of oxygen atoms and/or the loss of hydrogen atoms. (h) When oxygen, O2, is converted to hydrogen per oxide, H2O2, we say that O2 is reduced. (i) Hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, is an oxidizing agent. (j) All combustion reactions are redox reactions. (k) The products of complete combustion (oxidation) of hydrocarbon fuels are carbon dioxide, water, and heat. (l) In the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels, oxygen is the oxidizing agent and the hydrocarbon fuel is the reducing agent.  (m) Incomplete combustion of hydrocarbon fuels can produce significant…
