We find examples of oxidation-reduction or redox reactions almost every time we analyze the reactions used as sources of either heat or work. When natural gas burns, for example, an oxidation-reduction reaction occurs that releases more than 800 kJ/mol of energy.
What changes in this reaction is the oxidation state of these atoms. The oxidation state of carbon increases from +2 to +4, while the oxidation state of the hydrogen decreases from +1 to 0. Oxidation and reduction are therefore best defined as follows.he term reduction comes from the Latin stem meaning to lead back.. Anything that that leads back to magnesium metal therefore involves reduction. The reaction between magnesium oxide and carbon at 2000C to form magnesium metal and carbon monoxide is an example of the reduction of magnesium oxide to magnesium metal.
