Chapter 8 : Redox Reactions Flashcards
Define oxidation
Loss of electrons by any species
Define reduction
Gain of electron by any species
Reducing agent donate electrons.T/F
True
Oxidation is gain of electrons.T/F
False
Copper + zinc+2 gives zinc + copper+2.T/F
False
Arrange Cu, Ag, Zn in the order of electron releasing tendency
Zn greater than Cu greater than Ag
In superoxide oxidation number of zero is
-1/2
Oxidation number of O in OF2 and O2F2 is
+2 in OF2 and +1 in O2F2
In peroxide oxidation number of O is
-1
Oxidation number of h in LiH is
-1
In all its compounds, oxidation number of F is -1.T/F
True
Oxidation State denote the oxidation number of the compound.T/F
False, oxidation number denotes the oxidation state of the compound
Define oxidase oxidizing agent.
A reagent which can increase the oxidation number of an element in a given substance
Define reducing agent.
Reagent which lowers the oxidation number of an element in given substance
P4+ OH- +H2O gives
PH3 + H2PO2-
