If the oxidation number of an atom decreases, the atom has undergone oxidation.

Chemistry

Bumek [7]3 years ago

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.

garri49 [273]

Answer:

A salt

Explanation:

When an acid and a base are placed together, they react to neutralize the acid and base properties, producing a salt. The H(+) cation of the acid combines with the OH(-) anion of the base to form water. The compound formed by the cation of the base and the anion of the acid is called a salt

A formic acid buffer solution contains 0. 20 m h c o o h hcooh and 0. 24 m h c o o − hcoox−. the pka of formic acid is 3. 75. wh
irina1246 [14]

A buffer solution contains an equivalent amount of acid and base. The pH of the solution with an acid dissociation constant (pKa) value of 3.75 is 3.82.

<h3>What is pH?</h3>

The amount of hydrogen or the proton ion in the solution is expressed by the pH. It is given by the sum of pKa and the log of the concentration of acid and bases.

Given,

Concentration of salt [HCOO⁻] = 0.24 M

Concentration of acid [HCOOH] = 0.20 M

The acid dissociation constant (pKa) = 3.75

pH is calculated from the Hendersons equation as,

pH = pKa + log [salt] ÷ [acid]

pH = 3.75 + log [0.24] ÷ [0.20]

= 3.75 + log (1.2)

= 3.75 + 0.079

= 3.82

Therefore, 3.82 is the pH of the buffer.

What are the characteristics of electromagnetic waves?
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer: Electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature as they propagate by varying the electric and magnetic fields such that the two fields are perpendicular to each other.

Accelerated charges are responsible to produce electromagnetic waves.
