Answer:

Four main processes erode the destructive waves; hydraulic action, compression, abrasion and attrition. Hydraulic Action is the sheer force of water crashing off the coastline causing the material to dislodge and be carried away by the sea.

Atoms of metallic elements tend to...

lara31 [8.8K]

The answer is: lose electrons and form positive ions.

Most metals have strong metallic bond, because of strong electrostatic attractive force between valence electrons (metals usually have low ionization energy and lose electrons easy) and positively charged metal ions.

The ionization energy (Ei) is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the valence electron, when element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).

For example, magnesium has atomic number 12, which means it has 12 protons and 12 electrons. It lost two electrons to form magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) with stable electron configuration like closest noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.

Electron configuration of magnesium ion: ₁₂Mg²⁺ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.

Which best describes an oxidizing agent?

stellarik [79]

Answer:B) a reactant that undergoes reduction

Explanation:

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases during oxidation.

$M\rightarrow M^++e^-$

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced during reduction.

$N^++e^-\rightarrow N$

Overall reaction: $M+N^+\rightarrow M^++N$

The substance M which itself gets oxidized, reduces other and is called as reducing agent. The substance N which itself gets reduced, oxidizes other and is called as oxidizing agent.

When a 17.7 mL sample of a 0.368 M aqueous hypochlorous acid solution is titrated with a 0.301 M aqueous barium hydroxide soluti

nordsb [41]

Answer:

pH = 12.98

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of aqueous hypochlorous acid solution = 17.7 mL = 0.0177 L

Molarity of aqueous hypochlorous acid solution = 0.368 M

Molarity of aqueous barium hydroxide solution = 0.301 M

Volume of aqueous barium hydroxide solution = 16.2 mL = 0.0162 L

Step 2: The balanced equation

2HCl + Ba(OH)2 → BaCl2 + 2H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles

Moles = molarity * volume

Moles HCl = 0368 M * 0.0177 L

Moles HCl = 0.0065136 moles

Moles Ba(OH)2 = 0.301 M * 0.0162 L

Moles Ba(OH)2 = 0.0048762 moles

Step 4: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 2 moles HCl we need 1 mol Ba(OH)2 to produce 1 mol BaCl2 and 2 moles H2O

HCl is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed 0.0065136 moles. Ba(OH)2 is in excess. There will react 0.0065136/2 = 0.0032568‬ moles. There will remain 0.0048762 moles - 0.0032568‬ = 0.0016194 moles

Step 5: Calculate molarity Ba(OH)2

Molarity Ba(OH)2 = moles / volume

Molarity Ba(OH)2 = 0.0016194 moles / 0.0339 L

Molarity Ba(OH)2 = 0.04777 M

Step 6: Calculate [OH-]

Ba(OH)2 → Ba^2+ + 2OH-

For Ba(OH)2 we have 2* [OH-]

[OH-] = 2*0.04777 = 0.09554 M

Step 7: Calculate pOH

pOH = -log[OH-]

pOH = -log(0.09554)

pOH = 1.02

Step 8: Calculate pH

pH = 14 - 1.02

pH = 12.98
