Which half-reaction correctly represents reduction? *

a. S²⁻+2e⁻ ⇒ S⁰

b. S²⁻⇒S⁰ + 2e⁻

c. Mn⁷⁺+3e⁻⇒Mn⁴⁺

d. Mn⁷⁺⇒Mn⁴⁺₊3e⁻

C

Explanation:

Reduction can be seen through addition (gaining) of electrons, addition of Hydrogen or removal of Oxygen

Mn7+ is reduced to Mn4+ by the addition of 3 electrons.

explanation:

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
