In the reaction of calcium with chlorine, which atom is oxidized? ca + cl2 -> cacl2

1 answer:

5 0

Redox reactions consist of reduction and oxidation reactions
oxidation reactions are the giving out of electrons, the oxidation number of the species giving out the electrons increases during oxidation
reduction reactions are taking in electrons and the oxidation number of the species taking in electrons reduces after reduction
in the reaction Ca + Cl₂ --> CaCl₂
oxidation numbers of Ca in Ca - 0 and CaCl₂ - +2
oxidation numbers of Cl in Cl₂ - 0 and CaCl₂ - -1
oxidation number of Ca has increased from 0 to +2 therefore Ca is oxidised

A rectangular prism of volume 84 cm 3 has a mass of 760 g. What is the density of the rectangular prism? 5.8 g•cm 3 9.0 g/cm 3 6

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

9.0 g/cm³

Explanation:

Density can be computed with the formula:

$D=\dfrac{M}{V}$

Where:

D = Density

M = Mass

V = Volume

In your problem we are given:

84 cm³ = volume

760 g = mass

So we just plug in our given into the formula:

$D=\dfrac{M}{V}$

$D=\dfrac{760g}{84cm^{3}}$

$D=9.05g/cm^{3}$

The answer would then be:

9.0 g/cm³

What caused the dawn horse to go extinct??

Vikentia [17]

The "Dawn horses" were actually not related to horses! Recent studies of fossils found that "Dawn Horses" were buried in the same rock layers as modern horses! evolutionists were shocked at first but then decided that the "Dawn horse" was related to rabbits! Now to answer your question no one really knows why they went extinct. Evolutionist believe they changed into rabbits and Creationists (people who believe God created the universe and that evolution is incorrect) believe they died out due to climate changes after the global flood of Noah.
