Answer:

Oxidation occurs when a reactant loses electrons during the reaction. Reduction occurs when a reactant gains electrons during the reaction. This often occurs when metals are reacted with acid.

Answer : Oxidation reaction occurs when a reactant losses electrons in the reaction.

Reduction reaction occurs when a reactant gains electrons in the reaction.

Explanation :

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. That means, the loss of electrons takes place.

Or we can say that, oxidation reaction occurs when a reactant losses electrons in the reaction.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. That means, the gain of electrons takes place.

Or we can say that, reduction reaction occurs when a reactant gains electrons in the reaction.

What isotope is the product of the alpha (*2He) nuclear decay of Radon-222 (222U)?

NikAS [45]

Answer:

ⁿₐX => ²¹⁸₈₄Po

Explanation:

Let ⁿₐX be the isotope.

Thus, the equation can be written as follow:

²²²₈₆Rn —> ⁴₂α + ⁿₐX

Next, we shall determine the value of 'n' and 'a'. This can be obtained as follow:

222 = 4 + n

Collect like terms

222 – 4 = n

218 = n

Thus,

n = 218

86 = 2 + a

Collect like terms

86 – 2 = a

84 = a

Thus,

a = 84

ⁿₐX => ²¹⁸₈₄Po

²²²₈₆Rn —> ⁴₂α + ⁿₐX

²²²₈₆Rn —> ⁴₂α + ²¹⁸₈₄Po

Why is water said to be universal solvent?

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

And, water is called the "universal solvent" because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid. This allows the water molecule to become attracted to many other different types of molecules.

Alveoli are tiny sacs of air in the lungs. Their average diameter is 4.50 × 10−5 m. Calculate the uncertainty in the velocity of

Arisa [49]

<u>Answer:</u> The uncertainty in the velocity of oxygen molecule is $4.424\times 10^{-5}m/s$

<u>Explanation:</u>

The diameter of the molecule will be equal to the uncertainty in position.

The equation representing Heisenberg's uncertainty principle follows:

$\Delta x.\Delta p=\frac{h}{2\pi}$

where,

$\Delta x$ = uncertainty in position = d = $4.50\times 10^{-5}m$

$\Delta p$ = uncertainty in momentum = $m\Delta v$

m = mass of oxygen molecule = $5.30\times 10^{-26}kg$

h = Planck's constant = $6.627\times 10^{-34}kgm^2/s^2$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$4.50\times 10^{-5}m\times 5.30\times 10^{-26}kg\times \Delta v=\frac{6.627\times 10^{-34}kgm^2/s}{2\times 3.14}\\\\\Delta v=\frac{6.627\times 10^{-34}kgm^2/s^2}{2\times 3.14\times 4.50\times 10^{-5}m\times 5.30\times 10^{-26}kg}=4.424\times 10^{-5}m/s$

Hence, the uncertainty in the velocity of oxygen molecule is $4.424\times 10^{-5}m/s$
