-101, K=C+273 so in this you would subtract 273 from 172
Reduction refers to a chemical reaction in which electrons are gained by one of the atoms involved in the reaction and at the same time lowering of an oxidation state of that atom takes place.
In the given case, the reduction occurs at the cathode. In aqueous, V (vanadium) is present in +5 oxidation state that on reduction modifies to vanadium (aq) with +1 oxidation state.
The half reaction is:
V⁵⁺ (aq) + 4e⁻ → V¹⁺ (aq)
Gamma decay. The third class of radioactive decay is gamma decay, in which the nucleus changes from a higher-level energy state to a lower level. Similar to the energy levels for electrons in the atom, the nucleus has energy levels.
