Electrochemistry I â Galvanic Cell. Introduction: Chemical reactions involving the transfer of electrons from one reactant to. another are called oxidation-reduction reactions or redox reactions. In a redox reaction, two. half-reactions occur; one reactant gives up electrons (undergoes oxidation) and another.
So, while rehydrating yourself (by drinking water, Pedialyte, or getting an IV drip) can help to lessen the pain from dehydration that usually accompanies a hangover, the debilitating effects of the hangover itself may remain.
