Acetate (
(CH_(3)(C)/(O)O ^((
)
-))
is oxidized to carbon dioxide
(CO_(2))
by hydrogen into
(H^( ))
, which itself is reduced to hydrogen
(H_(2))
. (a) Construct a half reaction for oxidation of acetate to carbon dioxide (b) Construct a half reaction for reduction of hydrogen ion to hydrogen (c) Balance the two half reactions
