Define oxidation and reduction with respect to molecular weight and equivalent weight.
University of Ilorin CHM107 2023B past question
- Oxidation: loss of electrons (equivalent weight decreases); Reduction: gain of electrons (equivalent weight increases)
- Oxidation: gain of oxygen (equivalent weight remains constant); Reduction: loss of oxygen (equivalent weight remains constant)
- Oxidation: increase in oxidation state (equivalent weight varies); Reduction: decrease in oxidation state (equivalent weight varies)
- Oxidation: addition of hydrogen (equivalent weight decreases); Reduction: removal of hydrogen (equivalent weight increases)
