Answer:
Every oxidation must be accompanied by a reduction.
Explanation:
Oxidation and reduction are complementary processes. There can be no oxidation without reduction and vice versa. It is actually a given an take affair. A specie looses electrons which must be gained by another specie to complete the process. This explains why the selected option is the correct one.

Explanation:
Ethanol can be oxidized to ethanal or acetaldehyde which is further oxidized to acid that is acetic acid.
→ [oxidation by loss of hydrogen]
-
An oxidizing agent potassium dichromate(VI) solution is used to remove the hydrogen from the ethanol.
- An oxidizing agent used along with dilute sulphuric acid for acidification.
Acetaldehyde can also be reduced back to ethanol again by adding hydrogen to it by using a reducing agent that is sodium tetrahydro borate, NaBH4.
- The oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids can be done by the two-step process.
- In the first step, one molecule of water is added in the presence of a catalyst that is acidic.
- There is a generation of a hydrate. (geminal 1,1-diol).

[reduction by the gain of electrons]
Here, the oxidizing agent used is
in the presence of acetone.

Answer:
Explanation:
To calculate the cell potential we use the relation:
Eº cell = Eº oxidation + Eº reduction
Now in order to determine which of the species is going to be oxidized, we have to remember that the more the value of the reduction potential is negative, the greater its tendency to be oxidized is. In electrochemistry we use the values of the reductions potential in the tables for simplicity because the only thing we need to do is change the sign of the reduction potential for the oxized species .
So the species that is going to be oxidized is the Aluminium, and therefore:
Eº cell = -( -1.66 V ) + 0.340 V = 5.06 V
Equally valid is to write the equation as:
Eº cell = Eº reduction for the reduced species - Eº reduction for the oxidized species
These two expressions are equivalent, choose the one you fell more comfortable but be careful with the signs.
