Question

Half-reactions can be written to represent all

Answer 1

Answer=4

oxidation and reduction reactions

Answer 2

Answer: Option (4) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Half reactions are the reactions that represent oxidation and reduction reactions through separate steps.

For example, $2Na + Br_{2} \rightarrow 2Na^{+} + 2Br^{-}$ the oxidation and reduction half-reaction will be as follows.

Oxidation half-reaction: $2Na \rightarrow Na^{+} + 2e^{-}$

Reduction half-reaction: $Br_{2} + 2e^{-} \rightarrow 2Br^{-}$

Thus, we can conclude that half-reactions can be written to represent all oxidation and reduction reactions.
