F. None of the above [Cl^(-) is oxidized]

No Cl atoms are available to be oxidized, only Cl^(-)ions

2Cl^(-) → Cl_2 + 2e^(-)

The substance that loses electrons is oxidized.

Remember OIL RIG (Oxidation Is Loss of electrons) and

LEO the lion says GER (Loss of Electrons is Oxidation).

(there are 2 quetions) how is heat being transfered in:

alekssr [168]

Answer:

Heat energy is transferred from homes by conduction through the walls, floor, roof and windows. It is also transferred from homes by convection. For example, cold air can enter the house through gaps in doors and windows, and convection currents can transfer heat energy in the loft to the roof tiles.
Convection is the heat transfer due to the movement of a fluid, such as a gas or liquid, and carries heat energy away from the source of heat. When a substance is heated, it causes its particles to vibrate more. The more vibration, the more space they will take up and the less dense they will become.

I really hope it helps! ❤

evaporation systems allow for an endless source of water. you can grab cups of water straight from the sea or even a lake. the use of evaporation allows for you to drink water thats even healthier than getting it from a cloud and it will leave all of the bad parts that used to be in the water in the first container you pour into. this system is most useful in hot climates such as places near the equator.

Which salt is produced when NH4OH Reacts with HNO3

borishaifa [10]

Explanation:

When an acid reacts with a base then it results in the formation of salt and water.

$HNO_{3}$ is an acid and $NH_{4}OH$ is a base thus, when we dissolve ammonium hydroxide in nitric acid then it results in the formation of ammonium nitrate and water.
