Answer

When oxidation and reduction takes place simultaneously it is called a redox reaction.

Explanation:

Oxidation is the process in which an electron loses an atom, whereas, in reduction an atom gains an atom. when both of these reactions occur simultaneously the process is known as redox.

When a substance is being oxidized, it loses an electron or a hydrogen atom and gains an oxygen atom. Whereas, in reduction it gains an hydrogen atom and loses an oxygen atom. These two cannot happen individually and will always happen simultaneously.

A gas is at a pressure of 3.70 atm. What is this pressure in kilopascals?
Yanka [14]
Answer:
                =   374.90 kPa 

Calculation:
                  As we know atm and kiloPascal are related to each other as,

                                         1 atm  =  101.325 kPa
So,
                                    3.70 atm  =   X
Solving for X,
                                     X  = (3.70 atm × 101.325 kPa) ÷ 1 atm

                                     X  =  374.90 kPa

The chemical process in which electrons are gained by an atom or ion is called
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The process of gaining or losing electrons from a neutral atom or molecule is called ionization. Atoms can be ionized by bombardment with radiation, but the more purely chemical process of ionization is the transfer of electrons between atoms or molecules

What is the volume, in liters, of 576 grams of so2 gas at stp?
katen-ka-za [31]
The volume  in  liters  of  576 grams  of SO2  gas  at STP  is   calculated as below

calculate the moles of SO2 = mass/molar  mass

= 576 g/64 g /mol  = 9 moles

At  STP  1mole =22.4 L
what  9 mole =? liters

by cross  multiplication

= 22.4 L x  9 moles/ 1moles = 201.6 liters
