In fact, weâre not spending enough on food stamps. 1  The average monthly food stamp benefit per person is only $133.85, or less than $1.50 per person, per meal. 2  Between 2009-2011 the purchasing power of food stamps declined by about 7%, or $47/month for a family of four, due to inflation in the cost of food.
Instead, we will use the following definitions: 1  Oxidation means the addition of oxygen to a molecule or the removal of hydrogen from a molecule.  Reduction means the addition of hydrogen to a molecule or the removal of oxygen from a molecule.
Reduction of Aldehydes and Ketones. The reduction process is merely the reverse of oxidation. If two hydrogens are removed during oxidation, then two hydrogens should be added during reduction. Carbonyl compounds act as the oxidizing agent and hydrogen gas in the presence of a metal catalyst is the reducing agent.
