Metals all prefer to loose electrons (sodium -> Na+, Fe - > Fe3+ etc.) S they prefer to be oxidised (oxidation is electron loss).

Is an electrolytic cell silver(Ag) oxidizedgold (Au) reduced Aluminum (Al) oxidizedzinc (Zn) reduced Iron(ll) (Fe) oxidized aluminum (Al) reduced lithium (Li) oxidized zinc (Zn) reduced?

In an electrolytic cell, oxidation occurs at the anode and reduction at the cathode. For the given metals, aluminum (Al) is oxidized, losing electrons, while silver (Ag) and zinc (Zn) are reduced, gaining electrons. Thus, in the context of an electrolytic cell, Al and Li are oxidized, whereas Au, Zn, and Fe can be reduced depending on the specific half-reactions involved.


Which of these metals will be oxidized by the ions of aluminum?

Metals with a lower reduction potential than aluminum will be oxidized by aluminum ions. For example, magnesium and zinc are metals that can be oxidized by aluminum ions.

Photosynthesis is a redox reaction. This means that H2O is BLANK during the light reactions and CO2 is BLANK during the Calvin cycle. a. consumed...reduced b. reduced...oxidized c. oxidized...reduced?

Photosynthesis is a redox reaction where water (H2O) is oxidized during the light reactions, leading to the release of oxygen as a byproduct. In the Calvin cycle, carbon dioxide (CO2) is reduced to form carbohydrates with the help of ATP and NADPH produced during the light reactions. Therefore, the correct options are c. oxidized...reduced.


Is the anode reduced or oxidized during the electrochemical reaction?
