Introduction to redox reactions Flashcards
1
Q
What kind of reaction is when oxygen is GAINED?
A
= oxidation reaction
2
Q
What kind of reaction is when oxygen is LOSSED?
A
= reduction reaction
3
Q
What is a redox reaction?
A
= when reduction and oxidisation takes place
4
Q
What kind of reaction is when hydrogen is removed?
A
= oxidation
5
Q
What kind of reaction is a gain of hydrogen?
A
= reduction
6
Q
OIL RIG?
A
= O is gain
= R is loss
(in electrons)
7
Q
What is the reducing agent?
A
= chemical donating electrons
8
Q
