Redox Reactions

Magnesium hydroxide was made by constantly pumping two aqueous solutions of MgCl2 and NaOH into the reactor chamber, where they reacted to generate Mg(OH)2. The impacts of several operating variables on the size of magnesium hydroxide nanoparticles were explored,including rotation speed,reactant concentration, and liquid flow rate of the reactants. As the flow rate increased, the […]

The loss or sharing of its two because electrons, magnesium almost invariably has a +2 oxidation state in compounds. However, a tiny number of coordination compounds with magnesium-magnesium links, LMgMgL, have a formal +1 oxidation state in the magnesium centres. Magnesium carbonate, or MgCO3, is found in nature as the mineral magnesite and is a

There is growing concern about the levels of oxygen in the air we breathe and the impact that this may be having on public health.  In the laboratory, oxygen can be prepared in multiple ways. By knowing how to prepare oxygen, you can ensure that your experiments are carried out smoothly and that the results

Redox reactions can entail proton transfers and other bond-breaking and bond-making activities in addition to electron transfers, the equations describing them are far more complicated than those explaining acid-base reactions.  We need a system for keeping precise track of all the electrons in order to spot redox processes. Before and after the reaction, oxidation numbers

It is classified as a pictogen hydride because it is colourless, combustible, and very toxic. Phosphine is represented by the chemical formula PH3, and it is a highly toxic substance. However, because of the presence of substituted phosphine and phosphine in technical-grade samples, they have a strong rotting fish aroma that is extremely unpleasant to

When an atom, a molecule, or an ion loses one or more electrons in a chemical reaction, it is said to be oxidation.There is an  increase in the  oxidation state of a chemical species when it undergoes oxidation.Oxidation does not always  require the compulsion of   presence of oxygen. Definition of Oxidation The properties of

Redox reactions are employed in combustion, which includes an oxidation-reduction process, and metal extraction, which involves an oxidation-reduction reaction. Using an appropriate reducing agent, metal oxides may be converted to metals.  We must balance the equation because, according to the rule of conservation of mass, the mass of the products should equal the mass of

The simplest member of the peroxide family is hydrogen peroxide, which was originally discovered as a chemical substance in 1818 by French chemist J.L Thenard. H2O2 is its molecular formula. Hydrogen peroxide can be found in very low amounts in the environment. Photochemical reactions in the atmosphere around the earth produce gaseous hydrogen peroxide. It

The metabolic route followed by most temperate plants during the light-independent phase of photosynthesis, with the three-carbon molecule glycerate 3-phosphate as the initial product. This is created when carbon dioxide reacts with ribulose bisphosphate in the Calvin cycle’s initial step. C3 plants are those that follow this metabolic route. Photorespiration has unfavourable consequences for plants

Molecular nitrogen (N2) can be produced by the reduction of nitrate (NO3) in a microbially aided process that involves the production of a succession of intermediate gaseous nitrogen oxide products before the production of molecular nitrogen (N2). Denitrification is a type of respiration performed by facultative anaerobic bacteria in response to the oxidation of an
