Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The species which is reduced and oxidized in the reaction is to be stated. An explanation is stated for the same.

Concept introduction:

Oxidation reaction is the reaction in which there is loss of electrons. Reduction reaction is the reaction in which there is gain of electrons. Species which gain the electrons and decreases its oxidation number are known as oxidizing agents. Species which loses its electron and increases its oxidation number are oxidants or reducing agents.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The number of electrons involved in the reduction and oxidation half reaction is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Oxidation reaction is the reaction in which there is loss of electrons. Reduction reaction is the reaction in which there is gain of electrons. Species which gain the electrons and decreases its oxidation number are known as oxidizing agents. Species which loses its electron and increases its oxidation number are reducing agents.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The number moles of periodate which are required to react completely with 0.1 mol of a glycol is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Oxidation reaction is the reaction in which there is loss of electrons. Reduction reaction is the reaction in which there is gain of electrons. Species which gain the electrons and decreases its oxidation number are known as oxidizing agents. Species which loses its electron and increases its oxidation number are reducing agents.
