Oxidation reactions involve the process where a substance, for example an alcohol, undergoes a chemical change to form a more oxidised product, such as an aldehyde or carboxylic acid. To oxidise ...

Foods which contain edible oils will spoil once exposed to oxygen from the air due to oxidation reactions. This chemical change results in a bad flavour and smell from the food. If left exposed to ...

The overall reaction is usually given as: 3CH2(COOH)2(aq) + 4BrO3–(aq) → 4Br–(aq) + 9CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) The oxidation of the malonic acid by the bromate(V) ions is catalyzed by manganese(II) ions, and ...
