In this reaction, carbon is oxidised because it gains oxygen. At the same time, copper oxide is reduced because oxygen is removed from it.

Foods which contain edible oils will spoil once exposed to oxygen from the air due to oxidation reactions. This chemical change results in a bad flavour and smell from the food. If left exposed to ...

Oxidation reduction potential (ORP) instruments, also known as redox potential instruments, are used to monitor chemical reactions. ORP instruments measure the ability of a solution to act as an ...
