Chapter 23, Problem 23.37P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

FADH2 should be classified as an oxidizing agent, a reducing agent or neither.

Concept Introduction:

During oxidation of compound electrons or hydrogens are lost or oxygen is gained. During the reduction of a compound, electrons or hydrogens are gained or oxygen is lost. Coenzymes act as oxidizing agents or reducing agents. Oxidizing agent drives the oxidation reaction and gets reduced. Reducing agent drives reduction reactions and gets oxidized.

Given the following reaction, identify the oxidant. 3Fe2O3   +   CO   ⇋   2Fe3O4   +   CO2 Fe3O4 CO2 CO Nothing is oxizided or reduced in the reaction. Fe2O3
年一年 phosphoglycerate mutase (PGM) H-C-OPO; H-- OH H-S-OPO; H-C- OH H H 3-Phosphoglycerate (3PG) 2-Phosphoglycerate (2PG) Does the oxidation number change for the carbon atom to which the phosphate is attached? (i.e., does C3 in 3PG have a different oxidation number than C2 in 2PG?) If so, does it become higher or lower? Oxidation number decreases when the phosphate is moved from C3 to C2. Carbon 3 has an oxidation number of 0; carbon 2 has an ox. number of +1. There is no change in the oxidation number, both atoms have oxidation number of -1. Oxidation number increases when the phosphate is moved from C3 to C2. Carbon 3 has an oxidation number of 0; carbon 2 has an ox. number of +1. Oxidation number decreases when the phosphate is moved from C3 to C2. Carbon 3 has an oxidation number of -1; carbon 2 has an ox. number of 0. There is no change in the oxidation number, both atoms have oxidation number of 0. O Oxidation number increases when the phosphate is moved from C3 to C2. Carbon 3…
