oxidising agents

The substance that oxidizes the other substance is called the oxidizing agent..

When sulphur is mixed with potassium nitrate, potassium chlorate etc., it forms an explosive mixture. When struck or heated or ignited, the mixture explodes e.g. gun powder. ..

Oxidising Power of Halogens - Halogens have high electron affinity values and therefore they have strong tendency to take up the electro..

Chemical Properties of Chlorine - As an Oxidizing Agent - All the reactions especially those of chlorine with metals are examples of redox reactions. Example: With sodium Being one electron short in the outermost orbit, chlorine readily accepts electrons. Thus when combining with metals, ..

Solid propellants are a mixture of solid hydrocarbon and an oxidising agent. This oxidising agent is stable at room temperature. For example, a mixture of paraffin and potassium nitrate (KNO 3 ). Paraffin is the solid hydrocarbon and KNO 3 acts as the ..

From concentrated hydrochloric acid by oxidation Chlorine can be prepared by removing the hydrogen from hydrochloric acid using an oxidizing agent. Any oxidising agent such as manganese dioxide, lead dioxide, trilead tetroxide, potassium permanganate or po..

Chlorine is prepared by the oxidation of concentrated hydrochloric acid using oxidising agents like manganese dioxide, lead dioxide, trilead tetra oxide, potassium permanganate and potassium dichromat..

It is used (i) as a disinfectant and germicide especially in the sterilization of drinking water. (ii) for manufacture of chloroform. (iii) for making wool unshrinkable. (iv) as an oxidising agent in industry. (v) mainly as bleaching agent for cotton, linen and wood pu..

Propellants are the fuels used in rockets for propulsion. For example, alcohol, liquid hydrogen, liquid ammonia, kerosene, hydrazine and paraffin can be used as propellants. To burn them, rocket fuels require an oxidising agent. Examples are: liquid oxygen, liquid fluorine, dini..

Primary alcohols are readily oxidised to carboxylic acids with common oxidising agents such as potassium permanganate (KMnO 4 ) in neutral, acidic or alkaline media. ..
