Crack cocaine is formed from cocaine by an oxidation reduction reaction and the product is more addictive than the reactant.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Crack cocaine is formed from cocaine hydrochloride through a process that involves removing the hydrochloride salt to create a smokable substance, typically using baking soda and heat, not an oxidation-reduction reaction. Crack is considered more addictive due to its method of administration and rapid onset of effects, not because the chemical process itself makes it inherently more addictive.
