Question

Oxidation-reduction is often the most confusing and abstract part of chemistry for first-time chemistry students. Is it really worth the trouble? Think about the various chemical reactions that impact your life and society daily. Now, which ones are oxidation-reduction reactions versus some other type of reaction? Think about these reactions—redox or not—and take a reasoned position about the importance of redox reactions in our lives.

Answer 1

Yes its worth the trouble. We breathe in Oxygen and give out CO2. We burn wood. Our bikes rust.
