Question

Oxidation does not necessarily require heating. which is the common and natural method of oxidation?

Answer 1

rusting

Oxidation does not necessarily require heating. Iron that is exposed to air and water slowly oxidizes in a process commonly known as rusting. Bleaches contain various compounds such as sodium hypochlorite  NaClO , which release oxygen that oxidizes stains. Hydrogen peroxide  H 2 O 2   releases oxygen as it spontaneously decomposes. It acts as a bleach and an antiseptic that kills bacteria by oxidizing them.
