Common reductants (substances readily oxidized) are the active metals, hydrogen, hydrogen sulphide, carbon, carbon monoxide and sulphurous acid.
Common oxidants (substances readily reduced) include the halogens (especially fluorine and chlorine), nitric acid, oxygen, ozone, potassium dichromate, potassium permanganate, and concentrated sulfuric acid.
Some substances are capable of acting either as reductants or as oxidants, e.g., hydrogen peroxide and nitrous acid.

Why Pbcl4 is unstable than Pbcl2?
Pb(IV)-compositions are good oxidants. Pb(II) is more stable. Inert-Pair-Effect.
Rusting is an example of?
Rusting is the corrosion of iron. A redox reaction will occur and the iron will be oxidised by the oxygen and water surrounding it or any other strong oxidants.
What are two advantages of the presence of coupled reactions?
A coupled reaction is a chemical reaction having a common intermediate in which energy is transferred from one side of the reaction to the other. Many things are made this way.
What is Petrochemical oxidant?
A petrochemical oxidant refers to a substance that can react with petrochemicals, such as hydrocarbons, to initiate oxidation reactions. This can lead to the formation of various products including alcohols, aldehydes, and carboxylic acids. Common petrochemical oxidants include atmospheric oxygen and chemicals like ozone or chlorine.
What about oxygen makes you age?
Oxygen can cause aging through a process called oxidation, where oxygen molecules interact with cells and tissues, leading to damage and eventual aging. This process produces free radicals, which can harm DNA and other cellular components, contributing to the aging process. Additionally, oxygen can also degrade collagen and elastin in the skin, causing wrinkles and sagging associated with aging.
Are metals oxidants ot reductants?
metals generally acts as reductants because a relatively small amount of energy is needed to remove the small number of outer-shell electrons in metals.
What elements are better oxidants?
oxyMORONS
What has the author W L Chameides written?
W. L. Chameides has written: 'The state of the Southern Oxidants Study (SOS)' -- subject(s): Air, Air quality, Environmental aspects, Environmental aspects of Ozone, Environmental aspects of Photochemical oxidants, Environmental monitoring, Ozone, Photochemical oxidants, Pollution, Southern Oxidants Study
Name 2 anti oxidants which are usually added to fats and oil containing foods to prevent recididity?
nitrogen and something
Products of photochemical smog are?
Strong Oxidants
Does tomato sauce take the green out of bleached green hair?
Yes, the tomato sauce is high in anti oxidants. The tomato anti oxidants in the sauce will take the green out without adding/covering any colors.
What chemicals are used in wrinkle creams?
Some common ingredients in anti-aging wrinkle cream include Retinol, epidermal growth factor, Collagen, alpha hydroxy acids, peptides, sunscreens, and anti-oxidants.
Will taking anti oxidants containg natural foods cause any harm to body?
no
How is total residual oxidants related to total residual chlorine?
Total residual oxidants include all chlorine species present in water, which includes both free chlorine and combined chlorine. Total residual chlorine specifically refers to the amount of chlorine left in water after a certain contact time. In summary, total residual oxidants encompass total residual chlorine but also include other chlorine species.
What food contains enough antioxidants to rid a gum infection?
There is no set magical number of units of anti-oxidants to get rid of the unspecified 'gum infection', and thusly there can be no direct answer to the question. In terms of anti-oxidants, most foods have an ORAC (Oxygen radical absorbance capacity) value per serving, but not all values are based on the same serving size, so these numbers can be misleading to the casual observer. Spices, herbs, essential oils and cocoa are known to have the highest ORAC value, but the serving sizes are to small to be the leading providors of anti-oxidants. Dried fruits are a good source of anti-oxidants by weight/serving size as the water has been removed making the ratio of anti-oxidants higher. Fleshy fruits, nuts, and some vegetables are also known to be a rich source of anti-oxidants. Here are some foods known to have the highest levels of antioxidant phytochemicals per serving: aronia black chokeberry (100g), small red bean (1/2 cup dry), wild blueberry (1 cup), red kidney bean (1/2 cup dry), pinto bean (1/2 cup), blueberry (1 cup), cranberry (1 cup), artichoke heart (1 cup), blackberry (1 cup), prune (1/2 cup), raspberry (1 cup), strawberry (1 cup), red delicious apple (1), granny smith apple (1), pecan (1 oz), sweet cherry (1 cup), black plum (1), russet potato (1), black bean (1/2 cup dry), plum (1), gala apple (1).
What is so nutritous about grapes?
The anti-oxidants in grapes makes it a nutritious and healing agent for all ailments
How do you think a phagocyte works to kill pathogens?
