REDOX REACTION
name of the chapter: Redox Reaction
Content Provider: FIITJEE
Lecturer from FIITJEE.
Introduction of NCERT:
Chemistry deals with varieties of matter and change of one
kind of matter into the other. Transformation of matter from
one kind into another occurs through the various types of
reactions. One important category of such reactions is
Redox Reactions. A number of phenomena, both physical
as well as biological, are concerned with redox reactions.
These reactions find extensive use in pharmaceutical,
biological, industrial, metallurgical, and agricultural areas.
The importance of these reactions is apparent from the fact
that burning of different types of fuels for obtaining energy
for domestic, transport, and other commercial purposes,
electrochemical processes for the extraction of highly reactive
metals and non-metals, manufacturing of chemical
compounds like caustic soda, operation of dry and wet
batteries and corrosion of metals fall within the purview of
redox processes. Of late, environmental issues like
Hydrogen Economy (use of liquid hydrogen as fuel) and
development of ‘Ozone Hole’ have started figuring under
redox phenomenon.
