Answer: Magnesium Mg

Explanation:

Oxidization is the process by which a substance either gains oxygen or losses electrons.

The chemical reaction of the above is denoted by,

Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) -----> MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)

Mg went from a 0 to a +2 state which would mean that it lost electrons.

It was therefore oxidized.

Please do react or comment if you need clarification or if the answer helped you. This can help other users as well. Thank you.

The light emitted from a flame is produced when electrons in an excited state
sesenic [268]
Electrons in their ground state when excited absorb energy and move to higher energy states.
Absorption is when energy is absorbed by electrons and they move to a higher energy state
Emission is when electrons release that absorbed energy and move to a lower energy state
This release of energy results in emission of light from a flame
The correct answer is
Release energy as they move to lower energy states

Explain how the solubility of water is useful in maintaining various life processes.
Aneli [31]

Water is called a universal solvent because of its ability to dissolve different types of substances.

The basic unit of life is cell and a large portion of living cell (60%)  is made up of water, this is because cells need water to survive. Biochemical reactions are always ongoing in the living cells and water act as solvents under which these reactions occur. Because of the high solubility of water, it is able to dissolve various substances needed by the body, this makes it easy for the substance to participate in chemical reactions and to move from one point to another.  Without water biochemical reactions will not be able to occur in cells and this will lead to the death of the cells.
