In this reaction :- H2 + O2 = 2H2O
HYDROGEN undergoes oxidation and the OXYGEN undergoes reduction...
Now, in this reaction :-
C + O2 ----- CO2
when oxygen is added to carbon then carbon undergoes oxidation reaction
But if we see oxygen there what does the reaction oxygen undergoes?
Reduction or oxidation?
Please give the required answer if you know..
Thanks!
