The Iron atom lost two electrons to become the Fe2+ ion. This is referred to as oxidation.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

            The Iron atom got oxidized.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                        In inorganic chemistry Oxidation and Reduction reactions are defined as,

Reduction:

                 The reaction in which an atom accepts electrons is known as reduction reaction.

Example:

                                      2 Na  +  Cl₂    →     2 NaCl

In this reaction Chlorine oxidation state has changed from 0 to -1. Hence, it has gained one electrons therefore, it is designated as being reduced.

Oxidation:

                 The reaction in which an atom looses electrons is known as reduction reaction.

Examples:

                                      2 Na  +  Cl₂    →     2 NaCl

In this reaction Sodium's oxidation state has changed from 0 to +1. Hence, it has lost one electrons therefore, it is designated as being Oxidized.

                                       2 Fe + 3 O₂    →     2 FeO

In this reaction Iron's oxidation state has changed from 0 to +2. Hence, it has lost two electrons therefore, it is designated as being Oxidized.

NEED HELP ON 17,18,19,20,21,22,23. ONLY IF YOU ARE POSITIVE ABOUT THE ANSWER!!!!
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

17. D. Chemical change

18. C. Cell wall

19. D. To transfer matter and energy within and between organisms.

20. A. Transporting materials

21. C. Carbon dioxide

22. A. Cellular respiration

23. C. Produce food and give off oxygen

Explanation:

I have been able to supply the correct answers. The cell wall functions as a structure that provides structural support and protection to the cell. It is tough, flexible and at times rigid. In a chemical change, new materials with new properties are manufactured. So, the process of photosynthesis is a chemical change.

The endoplasmic reticulum actually transports material. It transports materials like protein and lipids made within the cell and sends it to where they are needed.

Carbon dioxide  is the the gas that animals give off and plants use it during photosynthesis. Cellular respiration involves the activities that result to the breaking down of food in order to release energy.

4. (01.05 MC)
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

The correct option is;

The gas particles move faster, have the same molecular composition, and have weaker attractions between them than the liquid particles

Explanation:

The properties of the gas molecules in comparison to liquids are

1) The gas molecules are widely spread out

2) After evaporation and while in conditions favorable to the gaseous state, the kinetic energy of a gas is larger than the inter molecular attractive forces

3) A gas fills the container in which it is placed

For liquids

1) There are strong intermolecular forces holding the molecules together in a liquid

2) Liquid attractive forces in a liquid are strong enough to hold neighboring molecules

3) The volume of a liquid is definite.

Describe how the air pressure on Earth affects the weather.
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:  

As the pressure decreases, the amount of oxygen available to breathe also decreases. Atmospheric pressure is an indicator of weather. When a low-pressure system moves into an area, it usually leads to cloudiness, wind, and precipitation. High-pressure systems usually lead to fair, calm weather.

Determine whether or not each ion contributes to water hardness.
Virty [35]

Answer: The ion that contribute to water hardness are:

--> a. Ca2+

--> b. (HCO)3^- and

--> c. Mg2+

While K+ DOES NOT contribute to water hardness.

Explanation:

WATER in chemistry is known as a universal solvent. This is so because it is polar in nature and dissolves most inorganic solutes and some polar organic solutes to form aqueous solutions. It is composed of elements such as hydrogen and oxygen in the combined ratio of 2:1.

Water is said to be HARD if it does not lather readily with soap. There are two types of water hardness:

--> Permanent hardness: This is mainly due to the presence of CALCIUM and MAGNESIUM ions in the form of soluble tetraoxosulphate(VI) and chlorides. These ions are removed by adding washing soda or caustic soda.

--> Temporary hardness: This is due to the presence of calcium HYDROGENTRIOXOCARBONATES. It can be removed by boiling and using slaked lime.

Therefore from the above given ions, Ca2+,(HCO)3^- and Mg2+ contributes to water hardness.
