Oxidation and reduction reactions (redox) involve the loss and gain of electrons. Half-reactions are a way for us to keep track of how many electrons are gained or lost by a particular species during a chemical reaction. These half reactions can be useful in understanding how batteries work, and how other reactions that occur in your body and in nature work as well. Questions 1. In the model, are electrons lost or gained during oxidation

Consider the following unbalanced equation for the combustion of hexane: αc6h14(g)+βo2(g)→γco2(g)+δh2o(g) part a balance the equation. give your answer as an ordered set of numbers α, β, γ, use the least possible integers for the coefficients. α α , β, γ, δ = nothing request answer part b determine how many moles of o2 are required to react completely with 5.6 moles c6h14. express your answer using two significant figures. n n = nothing mol request answer provide feedback
