Question

The amount of a substance that is reduced or oxidized is inversely proportional to the number of electrons produced in a cells half reaction. True False

Answer 1

False

it is directly proportional.

$Na \to Na^++e^-$

In the above half reaction, one electron participates. One mole of sodium is oxidized.

$Mg \to Mg^{2+}+2e^-$

In the above half reaction, two electrons participates. Two moles of magnesium is oxidized.

$Al \to Al^{3+}+3e^-$

In the above half reaction, three electrons participates. Three moles of aluminium is oxidized.
