Oxidizable \Ox"i*di`za*ble\, a.       Capable of being oxidized.
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Oxidize \Ox"i*dize\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Oxidized}; p. pr. &       vb. n. {Oxidizing}.] (Chem.)       To combine with oxygen, or subject to the action of oxygen,       or of an oxidizing agent. Specifically:       (a) To combine with oxygen or with more oxygen; to add oxygen             to; as, to oxidize nitrous acid so as to form nitric             acid.       (b) To remove hydrogen from (anything), as by the action of             oxygen; as, to oxidize alcohol so as to form aldehyde.       (c) To subject to the action of oxygen or of an oxidizing             agent, so as to bring to a higher grade, as an -ous             compound to an -ic compound; as, to oxidize mercurous             chloride to mercuric chloride.          Note: In certain cases to oxidize is identical with to                acidify; for, in nearly all cases, the more oxygen a                substance contains the more nearly does it approximate                to acid qualities; thus, by oxidation many elements, as                sulphur, nitrogen, carbon, chromium, manganese, etc.,                pass into compounds which are acid anhydrides, and thus                practically in the acid state.

Oxidize \Ox"i*dize\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Oxidized}; p. pr. &       vb. n. {Oxidizing}.] (Chem.)       To combine with oxygen, or subject to the action of oxygen,       or of an oxidizing agent. Specifically:       (a) To combine with oxygen or with more oxygen; to add oxygen             to; as, to oxidize nitrous acid so as to form nitric             acid.       (b) To remove hydrogen from (anything), as by the action of             oxygen; as, to oxidize alcohol so as to form aldehyde.       (c) To subject to the action of oxygen or of an oxidizing             agent, so as to bring to a higher grade, as an -ous             compound to an -ic compound; as, to oxidize mercurous             chloride to mercuric chloride.          Note: In certain cases to oxidize is identical with to                acidify; for, in nearly all cases, the more oxygen a                substance contains the more nearly does it approximate                to acid qualities; thus, by oxidation many elements, as                sulphur, nitrogen, carbon, chromium, manganese, etc.,                pass into compounds which are acid anhydrides, and thus                practically in the acid state.
