1 answer:
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.

Your question is incomplete. However, I found a similar problem fromanother website as shown in the attached picture.
To solve this problem, you must know that at STP, the volume for any gas is 22.4 L/mol. So,
Moles O₂: 156.8 mL * 1 L/1000 mL* 1 mol/22.4 L = 0.007 moles
Mass calcium: 0.007 mol O₂ * 2 mol Ca/1 mol O₂ * 40 g/mol Ca =<em> 0.56 g Ca</em>

Also water H2O is made of H+ and OH- ions. so when an acidic substance is added to water the concentration of H+ ions increase.
