Explain the "Oxidation'' in terms of gain or loss of oxygen with two examples.

Option A

Option B

Option C

Option D

Solution

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 $CuO$.
