Oxidation is a process when an atom, a group of atoms, or an ion loses electrons.

For example,

Cu⁰ -------> Cu⁺² + 2e⁻. This is an oxidation process.

As we can see an oxidation number was 0, and it became +2. The oxidation number is increased. Oxidation number of the atom, when an atom has undergone oxidation, increases.

So, answer is b.False.

A balloon with a pressure of 2.2 atm and a volume of 2.5 L is released in the mountains of Colorado. As the balloon ascends, the

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

1.38 atm

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law which states that the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure, provided temperature remains constant

P1V1= P2V2

P1 = 2.2 atm, V1 = 2.5L ,

P2 = ? , V2 = 4L

2.2 × 2.5 = P2 × 4

Divide both sides by 4

P2 = 5.5 ÷ 4

P2 = 1.38 atm

6. Write the ICE chart for the reaction of 32.0 g of sulfur and 71.0 g of chlorine: S8 + 4 Cl24S2Cl2 After completing the chart

Marianna [84]

Answer:

ICE Table Figure

a. 67.37 g $S_2Cl_2$

b. 35.62 g $Cl_2$

c. 58.61 g $S_2Cl_2$

Explanation:

For the ICE table we have to keep in mind that we have 4 moles of $Cl_2$ and 1 mol of $S_8$ and the reactives are consumed, so for $Cl_2$ we will have -4X and for $S_8$ we will have -X. Follow the same logic we will have -4X for $S_2Cl_2$ .
