Redoksu
Redoksu is the Finnish term for oxidation–reduction chemistry, referring to reactions in which electrons are transferred between chemical species. In redoksu reactions, oxidation is an increase in oxidation state and reduction is a decrease; the substance that loses electrons is the reductant (reducing agent) and the one that gains electrons is the oxidant (oxidizing agent). Redoksu processes are described by redox couples and can be analyzed through half-reactions, which separate the oxidation and reduction steps.
The driving force is the tendency of electrons to move to species with higher affinity, and it
Redoksu is broadly used in quantitative chemistry through redox titrations, where a known oxidant or reductant
Examples include the oxidation of iron by oxygen producing rust, bleaching where a reducing agent alters colored
Redoksu concepts are central to environmental science, metallurgy, energy storage, and sensors. Understanding redoksu conditions helps
