Redox (shorthand for reduction-oxidation reaction) describes all chemical reactions in which atoms have their oxidation number (oxidation state) changed. This can be either a simple redox process, such as the oxidation of carbon to yield carbon dioxide (CO2) or the reduction of carbon by hydrogen to yield methane (CH4), or a complex process such as the oxidation of sugar(C6H12O6) in the human body through a series of complex electron transfer processes. The term comes from the two concepts of reduction and oxidation. It can be explained in simple terms:
Though sufficient for many purposes, these descriptions are not precisely correct. Oxidation and reduction properly refer to a change in oxidation number — the actual transfer of electrons may never occur. Thus, oxidation is better defined as an increase in oxidation number, and reduction as a decrease in oxidation number. In practice, the transfer of electrons will always cause a change in oxidation number, but there are many reactions that are classed as "redox" even though no electron transfer occurs (such as those involving covalent bonds). Non-redox reactions, which do not involve changes in formal charge, are known as metathesis reactions. The two parts of a redox reaction Rusting iron A bonfire. Combustion consists of redox reactions involving free radicals.From Wikipedia under the

Q. For example, will there and what will the difference be between the rate of oxidation in a sliced apple in an environment of 10 degrees and 50 degrees? Also, is there a way to measure the rate of oxidation in apples? Thanks! If possible, can you provide an explanation too? Thanks! Asked by Cos - Mon Jun 8 10:59:17 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Well, intuition may suggest that 50 degrees increases the rate of browning, but if you dig a little deeper, there may be some doubts. Fruits such as apples brown by the action of an enzyme called polyphenol oxidase[1]. Like all proteins, polyphenol oxidase can be denatured when exposed to temperatures and pH ranges outside its normal operating conditions. Here's an abstract of a paper which showed slower polyphenol oxidase kinetics at 50 C [2]. I recommend researching polyphenol oxidase temperature dependent kinetics more. A low tech method of measuring rate of oxidation in apples at a given temperature could be taking pictures with a fixed camera in a room with fixed lighting of apple slices kept at 10 and 50 C (maybe place the apple… [cont.] Answered by . - Mon Jun 8 11:31:20 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "oxidation"  calaverasenterprise.com Wed, 11 Aug 2010 15:32:23 GMT+00:00 Calaveras Enterprise Sierra Lodestar photo by Bonnie Miller Last time we were here we explored oxidation versus oxygenation.
