In an oxidation process for a cell,
`M_(1)rarr M_(1)^(n+)+n e^(-)`,
the other metal `(M_(2))` being univalent showing reduction takes up ...... electrons to complete redox reaction.

A

`(n-1)`

B

`1`

C

`n`

D

`2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The reaction shows `M_(2)^(n+)+n e^(-)rarr M_(2)`
i.e. electrons released at anode = electrons used at cathode.

For which of the following metal M^(2+)(aq) +2e^- to M (s) reaction have positive reduction potential value

The standard oxidation potentials of two metals M_(1) and M_(2) are 0.76 V and -0.34 V respectively. If a rod of metal M_(1) is dipped into an aqueoud solution of metal M_(2) , then the following happens,

Oxidation is de-electronation whereas reduction is electronation. Oxidants are the substances which oxidise others and reduced themselves. On the other hand reductants are the substances which reduce others and oxidised themselves. The oxidation number of an element in a compound decides its nature to act as oxidant or reductant. Oxidation-reduction occur simultaneously and the overal chemical change is called redox reaction.

Oxidation-reduction occur simultaneously and the overal chemical change is called redox reaction. Redox reactions are of three types : (i) Intermolecular erdox reactions, (ii) Auto-redox or disproportionation reaction, and (iii) Intramolecular redox reactions. Oxidation number of oxygen in K_(2)O, K_(2)O_(2), KO_(2), KO_(3) are in the order :

Oxidation and reduction process involves the transaction of electrons. Loss of electrons is oxidation and the gain of electrons is reduction. It is thus obvious that in a redox reaction, the oxidant is reduced by accepting the electrons and the reductant is oxidised by losing electrons. The reactions in which a species disproportionates into two oxidation states (lower and higher) are called disproportionation reactions. In electrochemical cells, redox reaction is involved, i.e., oxidation takes place at anode and reduction at cathode. The reaction Cl_(2)to Cl^(-)+ClO_(3)^(-) is:
