oxidation - 2025 ACF Fall - Buzzpoints App

Question

In Stock nomenclature, a number describing the degree of this process is represented by a Roman numeral following an element in a compound, such as in copper (II) (“two”) chloride. For 10 points each:

[10e] What process in which an atom loses electrons is contrasted with reduction?

ANSWER: oxidation [accept equivalents like being oxidized; accept oxidation number or oxidation state]

[10h] In this type of redox reaction, a compound with an intermediate oxidation number converts into two compounds, one with a higher and one with a lower oxidation number.

ANSWER: disproportionation [or dismutation]

[10m] One example of disproportionation is the Cannizzaro reaction, in which two of these molecules yield an alcohol and a carboxylic acid. The simplest one of these molecules is used as a crosslinking fixative for tissue preservation.

ANSWER: aldehydes [accept formaldehyde]
