Oxidation reduction reaction

Another example of the tremendous amount of heat that can be generated by an oxidation-reduction reaction is the thermite reaction (link includes video).
Thermodynamics of Redox Reactions The thermodynamics of an oxidation/reduction reaction is the same as that found for any other chemical reaction.
As its name implies, an oxidation-reduction reaction is really two processes: oxidation, in which electrons are lost, and reduction, in which electrons are gained.
Michael Blaber Electrochemistry Spontaneity of Redox Reactions A positive voltage that forms across the electrodes of a voltaic cell indicates that the oxidation-reduction reaction is a spontaneous reaction for reduction at the cathode and oxidation at the anode.
If the net oxidation/reduction reaction is spontaneous, the cell is called a voltaic cell.
