Oksidoreduktion
Oxidoreduktion, commonly known as redox (short for oxidation-reduction), refers to a pair of chemical reactions involving the transfer of electrons between species. These reactions are fundamental to numerous biological, chemical, and industrial processes, playing a crucial role in energy transfer, metabolism, and synthesis of compounds.
In an oxidoreduction reaction, one substance undergoes oxidation, losing electrons, while another undergoes reduction, gaining those
Redox reactions are essential in biological systems, particularly in cellular respiration, where glucose is oxidized to
In chemistry, redox reactions are used in various applications, such as corrosion, where metals like iron oxidize
The concept of redox potential measures the tendency of a chemical species to gain or lose electrons,
