Balance the following redox reaction: NH4+ to NO2- via oxygen reduction
B) Write the full balanced reaction. No fractions.
C) Indicate which species (molecules) are being oxidized and reduced
D) Within these species (molecules), identify which elements are being reduced and oxidized. For these elements, show the change in their oxidation numbers (start and end oxidation numbers).
E) Calculate the pe°cell for this reaction in water and determine whether this reaction will proceed spontaneously (calculate ΔG).
