Question

Which type of equation can represent the oxidation occurring in a reaction?

1 double replacement reaction equation
2 half reaction equation
3 neutralization reaction equation
4 transmutation reaction equation

Answer 1

The answer to this question is the number "2. half-reaction equation".

The half-reaction equation is a type of equation that can represent the oxidation occurring in the reaction. It is a method of balancing the reactions and then adding an H+ ions or isolated hydrogen ions.

Answer 2

Answer: Option (2) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In an oxidation reaction, there is removal of electrons or we can say in an oxidation reaction electrons are released.

For example, $Fe^{2+} \rightarrow Fe^{3+} + 1e^{-}$ is an oxidation half reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that an equation which represents the oxidation occurring in a reaction is a type of half reaction equation.
