Important Questions from Redox Reactions
Which of the following are characteristics of oxidation? (Select all correct answers)
Show answer
Loss of electrons, Increase in oxidation number, Addition of oxygen, Removal of hydrogen
Oxidation can be defined as: loss of electrons, increase in oxidation number, addition of oxygen, or removal of hydrogen. Gain of electrons is reduction.
In which of the following compounds does chlorine have a positive oxidation number?
Show answer
HClO
In HClO, H has +1 and O has -2 oxidation numbers. For the compound to be neutral: +1 + Cl + (-2) = 0, so Cl = +1.
Which of the following statements about the standard hydrogen electrode are correct? (Select all correct answers)
Show answer
It has E° = 0.00 V, It is used as a reference electrode, It involves H⁺/H₂ couple
The standard hydrogen electrode has E° = 0.00 V by convention and serves as the reference electrode for measuring other electrode potentials. It involves the H⁺/H₂ redox couple.
What happens to the oxidation number of manganese in the reaction: MnO₄⁻ → Mn²⁺?
Show answer
Decreases from +7 to +2
In MnO₄⁻, Mn has oxidation number +7. In Mn²⁺, it has +2. The oxidation number decreases from +7 to +2, indicating reduction.
