Explain how a redox reaction involves electrons in the same way that acid-base reaction involve protons

Redox reaction stands for reduction/oxidation reaction whereas acid-base reaction involves acid and base in its reaction. 
Acid-base reaction involves the transfer of protons whereas redox reaction involves the transfer of electrons. Thus in both the case, a charged species is transferred from one molecule to another. 
In case of redox reaction, oxidation involves loss of electrons and reduction involves gain of electrons. Thus, one substance gets oxidized (acts as reducing agent and donates electrons) while other gets reduced (acts as oxidizing agent and gains electrons).
Similarly, in acid-base reaction one substance accepts proton while other releases proton. Thus, one substance is called conjugate acid (the base that accepts protons) and other is called conjugate base (acid that donates protons). 
Thus reducer and oxidizer are analogous terms for acid and base respectively.

What is the pressure in mm hg of a 0.025 mole sample of co2 at 350 k in a 200 l container?
Leni [432]

Answer:

0.65mmHg

Explanation:

Take R =8.314J/mol/K

V=200dm3

PV=nRT

P=0.025×8.314×623/200

=0.65mmHg

Which process is endothermic?a)b)c)d)The evaporation of water from the skin.The burning of candle wax.The oxidation of iron in a
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

The answer is option a. The evaporation of water from the skin

Explanation:

An endothermic reaction is any synthetic reaction that retains heat from its environment. The ingested energy gives the enactment energy to the reaction to happen.

No new bonds formed, no bonds broken in this example. water molecules go from liquid to vapour (gas ), intermolecular bond exist between polar (-OH) molecules and energy is required to break these bonds during the change from liquid to gas. So, it is endothermic .

Remaining three above examples are exothermic. combustion of gas releases energy(exothermic). burninig of the candle exothermic because the energy released from the oxygen into carbon dioxide and water.oxidation of iron also exothermic

To what family of the periodic table does this new element probably belong
julsineya [31]
<span>Ionization energy (IE) is the amount of energy required to remove an electron. If you observe the IEs sequentially, there is a large gap between the 2nd and 3rd. This suggests it is difficult to remove more than 2 two electrons. Elements that lose two electrons to become more stable are found in the Group 2A (2 representing the number of electrons in the outermost valence shell).</span>
