A redox reaction involves the reduction of one substance (gaining electron(s)) and the oxidation (losing electron(s)) of another. Examples of reduction and oxidation are shown.

Combine the two given reactions like algebraic equations and write the net, or overall, redox equation.

(A)⟶(A^+)+(e−) oxidation of A
(e−)+(X)⟶(X−)reduction of X

net redox equation:

Answer :

Answer:

A + X ⟶ A^+ + X^-

Explanation:

Add the reactants from the oxidation and reduction equations then add the products.

A + e^- + X ⟶ A^+ + e^- + X^-

Cancel any species that appear on both sides of the equation. In this case, an e^- can be eliminated from both sides which leave us with:

A + X ⟶ A^+ + X^-

The net redox equation for the oxidation of A and the reduction of X is:

A + X ⇒ A⁺ + X⁻

We have a redox reaction formed by the following half-reactions:

Oxidation of A: A ⇒ A⁺ + 1 e⁻

Reduction of X: 1 e⁻ + X ⇒ X⁻

Since 1 electron is gained and 1 electron is lost, we can obtain the overall redox equation by adding both half-reactions and canceling what is repeated on both sides.

A + 1 e⁻ + X ⇒ A⁺ + 1 e⁻ + X⁻

A + X ⇒ A⁺ + X⁻

The net redox equation for the oxidation of A and the reduction of X is:

A + X ⇒ A⁺ + X⁻
