Was it oxidized or reduced? Did it gain or lose electrons? How many electrons did it take to do this?arrow_forward
- Is it possible to have a reaction in which oxidation occurs and the reduction does not? Explain.arrow_forwardA steel (alloy primarily composed of iron) pipe can be protected from corrosion by attaching to the pipe a strip of silver, because... silver and steel form a corrosion-resistant alloy. silver forms a tight oxide coating around the steel. Actually, steel cannot be protected from corrosion by a strip of silver. silver is inert. silver is more easily oxidized than the iron in steel.arrow_forwardDescribe the processes occurring in oxidation and reduction reactions.- Define the terms oxidation and reduction.- Explain how to identify the reactants oxidized and reduced in a chemical reaction.arrow_forward
