I think it would be minimize so u can have more friction
Magma in quiet eruptions has a low content in silica , while in explosive eruptions, it has a high Content in silica. A volcano that erupts quietly has magma that is low in silica. Low-silica magma has low viscosity and flows easily. A volcano that erupts explosively has magma that is high in silica. High-silica magma has high viscosity, making it thick and sticky, thus it flows slowly.
Answer: Ti is the reducing agent because it changes from 0 to +4 oxidation state.
Explanation:
- Firstly, we need to identify the reducing agent and the oxidizing agent.
- The reducing agent: is the agent that has been oxidized via losing electrons.
- The oxidizing agent: is the agent that has been reduced via gaining electrons.
- Here, Ti losses 4 electrons and its oxidation state is changed from 0 to +4 and Cl₂ gains one electron and its oxidation state is changed from 0 to -1.
- So, Ti is the reducing agent because its oxidation state changes from 0 to +4.
- Cl₂ is the oxidizing agent because its oxidation state changes from 0 to -1.
- Thus, The right answer is Ti is the reducing agent because it changes from 0 to +4 oxidation state.
Answer: option 4. polar, with the chlorine end having a partial negative charge.
Explanation:
1) A polar bond is a covalent bond in which the electrons are pulled more strongly by one of the atoms and then they are not evely distributed between the two linked atoms.
2) That happens when the two atoms have diferent electronegativities.
3) As the per periodic table trend of the electronegativity, you can predict that the electronetativity of Cl is higher than that of P.
In fact, in a table of electronegativities you can find that the electronegativity of Cl is 3.16 while the electronegativity of P is 2.19.
This is a 3.16 - 2.19 = 0.97 difference.
As explained, that difference means that Cl will pull the electrons more strongly resulting if a partial negative charge on Cl and a partial positive charge on P, i.e. a polar bond.
