Explain the "Oxidation'' in terms of gain or loss of oxygen with two examples.
Explain the "Oxidation'' in terms of gain or loss of oxygen with two examples.
Oxidation is the gain of oxygen.
For example :
$(i)$ $C{O_2}\, + \,\mathop {{H_2}\, \to \,CO\, + \,{H_2}O}\limits_{Addition\,of\,oxygen\, - \,oxidation} $
$(ii)$ $\mathop {2Cu\, + {O_2}\, \to \,2CuO}\limits_{Gain\,of\,oxygen\,- \,Oxidation} $
In equation $(i)$, $H_2$ is oxidized to $H_2O$ and in equation $(ii)$, $Cu$ is oxidised to $CuO$.
