Redox is the portmanteau of reduction and oxidation. This tag should be used in questions where both the reduction and the oxidation process are under focus. This tag is not limited to inorganic chemistry. If the question is specifically about either reduction or oxidation (not both) of an organic compound, use [organic-reduction] or [organic-oxidation] instead.

Why sodium metabisulphite is not an oxidising agent? [closed]

We know that the maximum possible oxidation state of sulphur is $+6$. Whereas the oxidation states of sulphur in sodium metabisulphite are $+3$ and $+5$. Can't these oxidation states reduces to a lowe …

What is the role of hydration enthalpy in oxidation?

In aqueous solutions, halogens are powerful oxidising agents (especially fluorine). Let us confine our discussion to fluorine and chlorine. Oxidising ability can be demonstrated using the enthalpy cha …

Products formed on the reduction of KMnO4 in aqueous solution

For example: In oxidation of toulene to benzoic acid, the total redox reaction is: $$\ce{5 C6H5CH3 + 6 KMnO4 + 9 H2SO4 -> \\5 C6H5COOH + 14 H2O + 3 K2SO4 + 6 MnSO4}$$ In oxidation of ferrous ions to ferric …
