Question

Explain chemical reduction and electrochemical reduction.Answer the given question in detail.

Answer 1

✴Chemical Reduction:-

Chemical reduction is one half of a redox reaction, which results in the gain of electrons. One of the reactants in the reaction becomes oxidized, or loses electrons, while the other reactant becomes reduced, or gains electrons.

✴Electrochemical Reduction:-

The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (ERC) is the conversion of carbon dioxide to more reduced chemical species using electrical energy.
