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.

Answer:

C. Galactic disk

Explanation:

The galactic disk is a component of the spiral galaxies and consists of stellar and gaseous components as it forms a random motion with the circular objects that orbit around the galactic center.

The rotational curve in a milky way is similar to that of the rotation of the universal rotating disk and is evident by the dark matter in the galaxies.

What do we know about elements with half-filled energy levels??

lisabon 2012 [21]

If the energy level of a certain element is filled based on the maximum number of allowable electrons per level, then it is no longer reactive. With this, half-filled energy level means that the element may retain those electrons and attract electrons from other elements or it may give off its electrons.

If 40.0 g of HCl react with an excess of magnesium metal, what is the theoretical yield of hydrogen?

Alekssandra [29.7K]

1. The balanced reaction is:

Mg (s) + 2HCl (aq) --> MgCl 2 (aq) + H 2 (g)

We are given the amount hydrochloric acid to be used for the reaction. This will be the starting point of the calculation.

40.0 g HCl ( 1 mol HCl / 36.46 g HCl) (1 mol H2 / 2 mol HCl) (2.02 g H2 / 1 mol H2) = 1.11 g H2

Carlos has a 1.2 meter long piece of wood. He wants to cut it into 3 equal lengths. How long should each piece be in millimeters

zhenek [66]

There are 1,000 mm in a meter so times 1.2 by 1,000 and you get 1,200.
Now since he wants it in three equal pieces divide 1,200/3 and you get 400.
So your answer is: 400 mm
