Redox Reactions Flashcards
1
Q
What is a reduction
A
The gain of electrons
2
Q
Can oxidation occur without a simultaneous reduction
A
Since free electrons are unstable, whenever an oxidation happens, a reduction also must take place
3
Q
If delta E for a redox reaction is positive, will delta G be positive or negative
What is the equation that relate E and G
A
Will be negative
Delta G = -nFdeltaE
4
Q
Which reducing agent is stronger NADH or FADH
A
NADH
5
Q
Which oxidizing agent is stronger NAD or FAD
A
FAD
6
Q
What is oxidation
A
Oxidation is the loss of electrons
