Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

It is neither an oxidation nor reduction reaction.

Step by step solution

01

Oxidation reaction

Oxidation means the loss of electrons in a reaction. Oxidation occurs when the oxidation state is increased.

02

Reduction reaction

Reduction methe ans gain of electrons or oxidation state is decreased.

03

 Step 3: Reaction interpretation

In this reaction, ammonia is getting added to a given alkene. It is an addition reaction. It is neither an oxidation nor reduction reaction.

Tell whether each of the following reactions is an oxidation, a reduction, or neither:

Carboxylic acids (RCOOH; pKa=5) are approximately 1011 times more

acidic than alcohols (ROH;pKa=16). In other words, a carboxylate ion(RCO2-)

is more stable than an alkoxide ion (RO-). Explain, using

resonance.
