a.
To determine:
If silver ions electroplated into silver atoms corresponds to an oxidation or reduction.
Introduction:
Atoms consist of three subatomic particles namely proton, electron, and neutron. Out of these subatomic particles only electrons are involved in bonding. The formation of a bond between two species always due to the involvement of electrons either it undergoes loss of electrons or gains of electrons.

- The first step of the metabolic process known as glycolysis is the conversion of glucose to glucose- 6-phosphate. This process has a positive value for rG' Glucose + Pi Glucose-6-phosphate + H2O rG' = +13.8 kJ/mol-rxn This reaction is coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP ATP + H2O ADP + Pi rG' = -30.5 kJ/mol-rxn What is the sum of these two equations and the value of rG' for the coupled reaction? Is the coupled reaction product-favored at equilibrium?arrow_forwardUpon ingestion, grain alcohol,C2H6O, is metabolized into acetaldehyde, C2H4O, which is a toxic substance causing headaches as well as joint pains typical of a "hangover." Is the grain alcohol oxidized or reduced as it transforms into acetaldehyde? a. Some of the grain alcohol is oxidized and some is reduced to other products. b. The grain alcohol is oxidized c. The grain alcohol is neither oxidized nor reduced. d. The grain alcohol is reducedarrow_forward1.What chemical is reduced in the following reaction: Mg + 2HCl → MgCl2 + H2 2.What chemical is the oxidizing agent in the following chemical reaction: NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H2Oarrow_forward
