Interpretation:
Three
Concept introduction:
The reaction in which both oxidation and reduction reaction occur simultaneously is called a redox reaction. According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of all the species in a reaction must be balanced. Therefore balancing is necessary to conserve the mass and even the charge must be balanced to maintain the overall charge of the reaction.

- The Toliens test for the presence of reducing sugars (say, in a urine sample) involves treating the sample with silver ions in aqueous ammonia. The result is the formation of a silver mirror within the reaction vessel if a reducing sugar is present. Using glucose, C6H12O6, to illustrate this test, the oxidation-reduction reaction occurring is C6H12O6 (aq) + 2 Ag+(aq) + 2OH(aq) C6H12O7(aq) + 2 Ag(s) + H2O() What has been oxidized, and what has been reduced?
