Identify the following reaction as oxidation or reduction
KPotassium→K+Potassiumion+e-
Reduction is the chemical process that involves the acceptance of electrons and the one which involves the loss of electrons is Oxidation.
So the reaction is an example of oxidation.
Identify the following reactions as either oxidation or reduction :
(i) O+2e−→O2− (ii) K−e−→K+ (iii) Fe3++e−→Fe2+
State whether the following conversions are oxidation or reduction.
(a) PbO2+SO2→PbSO4
(b) K→K+e−
Identify the following reactions as oxidation or reduction reaction: i) K−e−→K+ ii) Fe3++e−→Fe2+
