Redox Reaction
Stoichiometry & Chemical Reactions
V
A reaction in which electrons are transferred, so that one species is oxidised while another is reduced.
Ox₁ + Red₂ → Red₁ + Ox₂
Reversible Reaction
Stoichiometry & Chemical Reactions
Dimensionless
A reaction that can proceed in both the forward and reverse directions under the same conditions.
A + B ⇌ C + D
Roasting
Stoichiometry & Chemical Reactions
°C
The heating of a sulfide ore strongly in a plentiful supply of air to convert it into the oxide.
