Tell whether each of the following reactions is an oxidation, a reduction, or neither:

Short Answer

Expert verified

It is an oxidation reaction

Step by step solution

01

Oxidation reaction

Oxidation means the loss of electrons in a reaction. Oxidation occurs when the oxidation state is increased.

02

Reduction reaction

Reduction means the gain of electrons or oxidation state is decreased.

03

Reaction interpretation

In this reaction alcohol is getting converted to aldehyde and removal of dihydrogen is occurring. So here loss of electrons is occurring. It is an oxidation reaction.
