Pelkistämisreaktioiden
Pelkistämisreaktioiden refers to reduction reactions in chemistry. These are a fundamental class of chemical reactions where a chemical species gains electrons, resulting in a decrease in its oxidation state. This process is often paired with oxidation, where a species loses electrons and its oxidation state increases. Together, these form redox reactions.
In a pelkistämisreaktio, the reducing agent is the substance that donates electrons, causing the reduction of
The identification of pelkistämisreaktioita relies on tracking the oxidation states of the atoms involved. An increase
These reactions are ubiquitous in nature and technology. They are crucial in processes such as respiration,
