Carboxylic acids can undergo reduction reactions. Reduction is the opposite of oxidation. For example, ethanoic acid (CH 3 COOH) can be formed by the oxidation of ethanol as shown below.
The global climate crisis, driven by the depletion of fossil fuels and rising atmospheric CO2 levels, has intensified the ...
The electrochemical series represents a series of reduction reactions and can be found in the Data Booklet. The strongest oxidising agents are at the bottom of the left-hand column of the ...
