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..

The substance which gives hydrogen for reduction is called a reducing agent. The substance which removes oxygen is also called a reducing agent. The substance which reduces the other substance is called a reducing 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, it oxidises the metal by accepting an electron from the me..

Oxidation Reactions of Aldehydes and Ketones - Aldehydes differ from ketones in their oxidation reactions. Aldehydes are easily oxdised to carboxylic acids on treatment with common oxidising agents like nitric acid, potassium permanganate, potassium dichromate etc. Aldehydes are..

Aldehydes and ketones are generally prepared by oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols respectively. Common oxidising agents are KMnO 4 , K 2 Cr 2 O 7 and CrO 3 . Strong oxidising agents oxidise the aldehyde produced by the oxidation of ..

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

Aldehydes differ from ketones in their oxidation reactions. Aldehydes are easily oxdised to carboxylic acids on treatment with common oxidising agents like nitric acid, potassium permanganate, potassium dichromate et..

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..
