Oxidation-reduction reactions, balancing equations

The chemical compound hydrogen peroxide has the formula H2O2. It’s a very pale blue liquid that’s somewhat more viscous than water in its purest state. It’s used as an oxidant, bleaching agent, and antiseptic in a weak solution (3–6% by weight) in water for consumer use, and at larger concentrations for industrial usage. When heated, […]

Free radicals are the products of normal cellular metabolism. A free radical can be defined as an atom or molecule containing one or more unpaired electrons in a valency shell or outer orbit and is capable of independent existence. The odd number of electron(s) of a free radical makes it unstable, short-lived, and highly reactive.

Redox titration can be based on an oxidation- reduction reaction between the titrant and the analyte. The concentration of unknown analytes can be determined through titration and it is considered as one of the most common laboratory methods of all time. The shape of the corresponding titration curve can be obtained by evaluating redox titrations.

Introduction We live in a world where oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions and processes are very much a part of our everyday lives. These activities or reactions span from the combustion of fossil fuels to the action of sodium hypochlorite, the active ingredient in home bleach, which has an oxidising power. It is highly possible that each

Introduction “Redox” is a chemical process which involves two steps together: Reduction and Oxidation. Dioxygen (O2(g)) was historically the first identified oxidising agent, the term “oxidation” originally meant a reaction with oxygen that resulted in the formation of an oxide. Later, the word was expanded to embrace oxygen-like compounds that conducted parallel chemical processes. Eventually,

Introduction Redox reactions are oxidation-reduction chemical reactions in which the oxidation states of the reactants change. The word ‘redox’ is called the reduction-oxidation process. All redox reactions can be categorized into two types of reactions: reduction and oxidation. The oxidation and reduction reactions always happen simultaneously in a redox reaction or Oxidation-Reduction reaction. The oxidizing

Colorless, highly poisonous, and flammable, the chemical compound phosphine (IUPAC name: phosphane) has the chemical formula PH3 and is classified as a pnictogen hydride, which means it burns when exposed to flame. However, because of the presence of substituted phosphine and diphosphane in technical-grade samples, they have a strong rotting fish aroma that is extremely

We elucidated the possible mechanism of soot combustion catalysed by potassium carbonate loaded on aluminosilicates and understood the surface reactions in solid-solid-gas three-phase catalysis. The potassium species on the aluminosilicate showed high catalytic performance against the oxidation of soot by gaseous oxygen. Aluminosilicates helped stabilize surface alkaline cations. Carbonate ions played an important role in

There are no rearrangements since carbocations are not generated during this phase. The reaction is an anti addition, and it follows Markovnikov’s rule (hydroxyl group is always added to the carbon that is more substituted). When oxymercuration is followed by reductive demercuration, an oxymercuration–demercuration or oxymercuration–reduction reaction reaction occurs. In practice, the reaction is nearly

Oxoacids are acids that contain the element oxygen in their composition. Phosphorus is known to combine with other elements to generate oxoacids. Examples include H3PO4, H3PO3, and others. In the phosphorus oxoacids, the phosphorus atom is surrounded by four additional atoms in a tetrahedral arrangement. In general, it is known that all of these acids
