In a redox reaction, how does the total number of electrons lost by the oxidized substance compare to the total number of electr

ons gained by thereduced substance?
(1) The number lost is always greater than the number gained.
(2) The number lost is always equal to the number gained.
(3) The number lost is sometimes equal to the number gained.
(4) The number lost is sometimes less than the number gained.

The answer is (2) equal to. In redox reactions, you can't just lose electrons somewhere. If an electrons is lost by one, it must be gained by another. Hence, the importance of balancing redox reactions.

Why do electrons transition between energy levels within the atom, and how do we detect these transitions?
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Electrons transition between energy levels in an atom due to gain or loss of energy. An electron may gain energy and move from its ground state to one of the accessible excited states. The electron quickly returns to ground state, emitting the energy previously absorbed as a photon of light. The wavelength of light emitted is measured using powerful spectrometers.

Atoms can be excited thermally or by irradiation with light of appropriate frequency.

Question 2: you have two systems: 1) solid gold and water 2) solid sodium and waterWhich one can spontaneously release energy an
Valentin [98]

Hey there!

Solid Sodium and water will react spontaneously and release energy.  This is based on the reactivity series. Sodium is a highly reactive metal and hence, it is placed at the top of the reactivity series. This is because it loses its outermost electron very readily. When it comes in contact with water, it reacts with it violently to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. This reaction is exothermic and hence, accompanied with a release of energy.  Gold lies at the bottom of the reactivity series as it is very stable and does not give away its outermost electrons easily. Therefore, when it comes in contact with water, there is no reaction and no release of energy.
