In a redox reaction, why does an element’s oxidation number decrease?

Element’s oxidation number decrease that because that element has received electrons from another element

Explanation:

A reduction in oxidation state is known as a reduction. Such reactions include the formal removal of electrons: a net gain in electrons moving a reduction, and a clear loss of electrons being an oxidation.

An oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction is a type of synthetic reaction that involves a transfer of particles between two species. An oxidation-reduction reaction is any synthetic reaction in which the oxidation number of a molecule, atom, or ion quarters by winning or missing an electron.

What is the force and distance relationship for a fixed pulley?
leva [86]

Answer:

Force is a vector quantity which when applied to an object can cause change in its velocity. When Force is applied to an object, the object if stationary moves to a certain distance depending upon the amount of force applied.

A pulley is a wheel with a groove that holds a rope, cable or belt, and is used to help lift an object.

The relationship of Force and Distance is the same for a fixed pulley as well. Except for one thing:

Normally the distance covered by an object is in the direction of the Force.

Using a pulley, an object can be moved with that same Force in a different direction. Using a pulley, a person can apply force in a direction suitable for him while moving the object.

<em>                                Force = mass of an object * Distance Covered</em>

Differentiate between angular displacement and linear displacement.​
Sauron [17]

Answer:

The angular displacement is not a length (not measured in meters or feet), so an angular displacement is different than a linear displacement. ... As the object rotates through the angular displacement phi, the point on the edge of the disk moves distance sa along a circular path.

Classify each statement below as an observation or as an inference based on the current Big Bang model. (note that the helium ab
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Observations:

  • Large scale structures look about the same in all directions.
  • The temperatures of the cosmic microwave background varies slightly with direction.
  • The cosmic microwave background temperature is approximately 2.73 Kelvin.
  • The Helium abundance is at least 25% in every galaxy studied so far.

While Inference includes:

  • Photons of the cosmic microwave background is radiation left over from the Big bang.
  • The cosmic microwave background is radiation left over from the Big bang.
  • Fusion during the universe's first five minutes produced 75% hydrogen and 25% helium.
  • Large-scale structure grew around density variations present in the early universe.

Explanation:

Inference here refers to the process of drawing a conclusion based on what is already known while Observation involves the perception and recording of data via the use of scientific instruments and procedures.

The insights below highlights the explanations for some of the insights used in determining its Observation or Inference status.

The Cosmic Microwave Background, which contains the afterglow of light and radiation is left over from the Big bang.

The Cosmic Microwave Background is black body radiation at a temperature of 2.725 Kelvin.

In the year 1965, a pair of radio astronomers named Arno Penzias and Bob Wilson respectively were working at Bell labs, in New Jersey. Using an antenna that is sensitive to the radiation of microwaves, they discovered an unknown source of static noise. After they tried doing everything possible  to reduce the noise, they realized that the microwaves had a black body spectrum, with a characteristic temperature of only T = 2.725 Kelvin ( and maximum wavelength of 1 millimeter). These ever present microwaves seen in every direction are called "Cosmic Microwave Background". This explains the reason behind statement five(5) being an Observation.

Finally, The Cosmos Background Explorer (COBE) which launched a satellite in the year 1989 found that there were slight fluctuations in the radiation spectrum. The temperature varies very slightly from one place to another by a few parts in 100,000 i.e (10^-5). The excerpts above clarify the reason for the answer to statement four(4) being listed as an Observation.

7. A thin wire was wound 30 times closely over a boiling tube. The total length of the windings as measured was found to be 6.3m
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Diameter of wire = 0.00021 meters

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Number of windings = 30

Length of windings = 6.3 mm to meters = 0.0063 meters

To find the diameter of the wire, we would use this mathematical expression;

Length of windings = number of windings * diameter of wire

Substituting the values into the expression, we have;

0.0063 = 30 * diameter of wire

Diameter of wire = 0.0063/30

Diameter of wire = 0.00021 meters

 Which explanation of the solar system best fits the observations of the planets and how they orbit the sun? (Points : 3)       
AURORKA [14]
From those choices, the best is the third one. it relates to why the sun and almost everything else in the solar system spins in the same direction, and also why the abundance of various elements in the planets is so different from what it is in the sun.
