Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Cu (copper gets reduced)
Cu → Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ (copper gets oxidized)
Oxidation:
Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.
Reduction:
Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.
Consider the following reactions.
4KI + 2CuCl₂ → 2CuI + I₂ + 4KCl
the oxidation state of copper is changed from + 2 to + 1 so copper get reduced.
CO + H₂O → CO₂ + H₂
the oxidation state of carbon is + 2 on reactant side and on product side it becomes + 4 so carbon get oxidized.
Na₂CO₃ + H₃PO₄ → Na₂HPO₄ + CO₂ + H₂O
The oxidation state of carbon on reactant side is + 4. while on product side is also + 4 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.
H₂S + 2NaOH → Na₂S + 2H₂O
The oxidation sate of sulfur is - 2 on reactant side and in product side it is also - 2 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.
