Which among the following happens in an oxidation reaction? A. Electrons are gained B. Electrons are lost C. Protons are gained D. Protons are lost Correct Answer B

Option 4 is correct.

  • Electrons are lost in an oxidation reaction. 
  • Oxidation simply means a gain of oxygen and an oxidizing agent is a substance which oxidizes something.
  • The reduction is the gain of electrons. A reducing agent reduces something in a reaction.
  • As when one molecule gets reduced, another molecule gets oxidized. Most of the time, Oxidation and Reduction take place simultaneously and such a reaction is called a redox reaction.
  • Redox reaction example- In a reaction between hydrogen and fluorine, hydrogen is oxidized and fluorine is reduced.

For a reaction, the extent of reaction equation is Ni = Nio + ϒVi is Where: Ni = Moles of species I present in the system after the reaction occurs Nio = Moles of species I present in the system when the reaction starts Vi = Stoichiometric coefficient for species i in the specified chemical reaction equation ϒ = Extent of reaction
Rate constant for a first order reaction does not depend upon reaction time, extent of reaction and the initial concentration of reactants ; but it is a function of reaction temperature. In a chemical reaction, the time required to reduce the concentration of reactant from 100 gm moles/litre to 50 gm moles/litre is same as that required to reduce it from 2 gm moles/litre to 1 gm mole/litre in the same volume. Then the order of this reaction is
In the reaction,

A solid-oxide fuel cell is fed with carbon monoxide and reacts with air to produce CO2. This reaction will produce 2 electrons which are used to power an electric circuit external to the fuel cell. The reaction equation is shown below: 2CO(g) + O2(g) -> 2CO2(g) ΔHr° = -565.96 kJ/mol This reaction does not occur for other types of fuel cells which use a catalyst, such as polymerelectrolyte membrane or phosphoric-acid fuel cells. The presence of carbon monoxide on the anode side of these types of fuel cells will cause catalyst poisoning, reducing the efficiency and voltage of the fuel cell. Determine the rate of enthalpy change for a carbon dioxide production rate of 208 mol/hr. The extent of the reaction occurring in the fuel cell can be obtained by the following equation: where:
