56.

Explain the following terms with example.Reduction.

Answer»

In a chemical reaction, removal of oxygen from a compound or addition of hydrogen to a compound is called a reduction.

57.

Explain the following terms with example.Oxidant.

Answer»

An oxidant is a reactant that oxidizes or removes electrons from other reactants during a redox reaction. An oxidant may also be called an oxidizer or oxidizing agent. When the oxidant includes oxygen, it may be called an oxygenation reagent or oxygen-atom transfer (OT) agent. 

Examples of oxidants include: 

1. Hydrogen peroxide 

2. Ozone 

3. Nitric acid 

4. Sulfuric acid
