When NAD becomes NADH, it is being reduced and gaining chemical energy.
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), a coenzyme, can exist in two forms, NAD⁺ (oxidized) and NADH (reduced form).
Electrons and protons released in catabolism reactions are attached to NAD⁺. The conversion of NAD⁺ to NADH is important reaction for production of ATP during the cellular respiration.
Reduction is lowering oxidation number because element, ion or compound gain electrons.
Chemical equation for reaction of reduction of NAD⁺ (see picture below):
NAD⁺ + 2e⁻ + H⁺ → NADH
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is made of two nucleosides joined by pyrophosphate.

Answer:
+4
Explanation:
The oxidation number of C in carbon dioxide (CO2) is (rules 1 & 2): 0 + (2 x 2) = +4 [Check (rule 3): +4 + 2(-2) = 0] The oxidation number of C in methane (CH4) is (rules 1 & 2): 0 – (4 x1) = -4 [Check (rule 3): -4 + 4(-1) = 0].
Answer:
The mixture of cryolite and aluminum oxide has a lower melting point than pure aluminum oxide. This means a lower amount of energy is required to establish effective conditions for electrolysis and thus makes it more cost effective.
Explanation:
Energy released from changing the phase of a substance from the liquid phase to solid phase can be calculated by using the specific latent heat of fusion. The heat of fusion of water at 0 degrees Celsius is 334 J/g. Calculation are as follows:
<span>
Energy = 5 grams x 334 J/g
</span><span>Energy = 1670 J</span>
