Oxidation-reactions are equations where some species release electrons and other species gain electron.

So two reactions happen simultaneously the oxidation of one species and the reduction off the other species.

In the oxidations, the species release electrons and, consequently, increase their oxidation number.

In the reductions, the species gain electrons and, consequently, decrease their oxidation number.

This last reaction, reduction, is what the above equation represents: Sn 4+ is gaining 2 electrons and so its oxidation number decrease from 4+ to 2+.

In, conclusion that is a reduction equation (option d)

The temperature of a star is 6000K and its luminosity is 1000. Which type of star is it?

Lorico [155]

Answer:

Its probably none of those.

Explanation:

White dwarf temperatures can exceed 100,000 Kelvin according to NASA (that's about 179,500 degrees Fahrenheit). Despite these sweltering temperatures, white dwarfs have a low luminosity as they're so small in size according to NMSU.

An increase in temperature results in A) a decrease in the required activation energy while the reaction rate remains constant.

N76 [4]

Answer:

C) an increase in rate of reaction because reactant molecules collide with greater energy

Explanation:

Temperature is one of the factors that affect the rate of a reaction. The rate of a reaction increases with an increase in temperature and vice versa. When the temperature of a reaction increases, the kinetic energy of the reactant molecules increases causing them to react at a faster rate.

The reactant molecules respond to an increase in temperature by colliding at a faster rate due to an increased kinetic energy between the reactant molecules.
