Q1 : Removal of oxygen from a compound is an example of ________.
a) oxidation
b) reduction
c) oxygenation
d) dehydrogenation
Answer: b) reduction
Explanation :
Reduction is a process in a chemical reaction in which a chemical species acquires electrons and its oxidation number lowers. It is the removal of oxygen from a substance or the addition of hydrogen to it.
Q2 : Reduction involves in __________ oxidation number.
a) decrease
b) increase
c) independence
d) remain constant
Answer: a) decrease
Explanation :
Reduction is a process in a chemical reaction in which a chemical species acquires electrons and its oxidation number decreases. It is the removal of oxygen from a substance or the addition of hydrogen to it.
Q3 : Oxidation is the same as __________.
a) addition of hydrogen
b) removal of oxygen
c) addition of oxygen
d) removal of Nitrogen
Answer: c) addition of oxygen
Explanation :
Oxidation is the combining of elements with oxygen, as well as metal atoms losing their valence electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Q4 : Which of the following do you think is a correct statement?
a) Oxidation is caused by a reducing agent.
b) The oxidation reaction is a Redox reaction.
c) Addition of electropositive element is a type of oxidation.
d) Reduction is the addition of hydrogen.
Answer: d) reduction is the addition of hydrogen
Explanation :
Reduction is a process in a chemical reaction in which a chemical species acquires electrons and its oxidation number decreases. It is the removal of oxygen from a substance or the addition of hydrogen to it.
Q5 :Loss of electrons is _________________
a) oxidising agent
b) oxidation
c) reducing agent
d) reduction
Answer: b) oxidation
Explanation :
Oxidation is the loss of electrons during a reaction by a molecule, atom or ion.
