What makes this an oxidation-reduction reaction? This is an oxidation-reduction reaction because electrons get transferred. Write the half-reactions showing the oxidation and reduction reactions. Identify which is the oxidation reaction and which is the reduction reaction. oxidation half reaction: Al→ Al+³ +3e This is an oxidation reaction because electrons are being lost. Reduction half reaction: Ag+ +eAg What is oxidized in the reaction? What is reduced? Aluminum is oxidized because its oxidation state increases, and silver is reduced because its oxidation state decreases. In this simple electrochemical cell, what functions as the anode? What is the cathode? Is this a galvanic cell or electrolytic cell? Explain your answer. What would the overall potential for this cell be?
