Answer : The oxidation-reduction reactions are:

I. reaction of a metal with a nonmetal

II. synthesis

III. combustion

Explanation :

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

I. Reaction of a metal with a nonmetal :

When sodium react with chlorine gas then it react to give sodium chloride.

2Na+Cl_2\rightarrow 2NaCl

In this reaction, the oxidation state of sodium changes from (0) to (+1) and shows oxidation and the oxidation state of chlorine changes from (0) to (-1) and shows reduction. So, It is an oxidation-reduction reaction.

II. Synthesis reaction :

A chemical reaction where multiple substances or reactants combine to form a single product.

When hydrogen react with oxygen then it react to give water.

2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O

In this reaction, the oxidation state of hydrogen changes from (0) to (+1) and shows oxidation and the oxidation state of oxygen changes from (0) to (-2) and shows reduction. So, It is an oxidation-reduction reaction.

III. Combustion reaction :

A chemical reaction in which a hydrocarbon reaction with the oxygen to give product as carbon dioxide and water.

When methane react with oxygen gas then it react to give carbon dioxide and water.

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

In this reaction, the carbon of methane gain oxygen and shows oxidation and the oxygen gas gain hydrogen and shows reduction. So, It is an oxidation-reduction reaction.

IV. Precipitation reaction :

It is defined as the reaction in which an insoluble salt formed when two aqueous solutions are combined.

The insoluble salt that settle down in the solution is known an precipitate.

It is a double displacement reaction. So, it is not an oxidation-reduction reaction.

V. Decomposition reaction :

A chemical reaction in which the the larger molecule decomposes to give two or more smaller molecules.

The oxidation state remains same on reactant and product side. So, it is not an oxidation-reduction reaction.

grigory [225]

Answer:

B. It would lead to an increase of global temperatures.

Explanation:

Gas burns when it is hot. Therefore the more gas that our cars consume, the hotter the air will be when the car releases those gas vapors. Causing the air to become hotter.

To dissolve one substance in another, thus forming a solution, three things must occur: The forces holding solute particles toge
aniked [119]

To dissolve one substance, attractions between solute and solvent particles must be formed, steps involved are:

<h3><u>Formation of a solution:</u></h3>
  • A physical process, not a chemical one, takes place when a solute and a solvent combine to produce a solution.
  • In other words, by applying the right separation techniques, both the solute and the solvent may be recovered in chemically unaltered forms.
  • It is claimed that two substances are entirely miscible when they combine to create a single homogenous phase in all ratios. Water and ethanol mix well, much like different gas combinations do.
  • When two substances, like oil and water, are fundamentally insoluble in one another, they are said to be immiscible.
  • We have already talked about several examples of gaseous solutions, such as the atmosphere of Earth.
  • Thus, a system that has two or more compounds homogeneously (in a single phase) dissolved in it is called a solution. It is the homogenous mixture formed when a solute dissolves in a solvent.

Which of the following leads to a higher rate of diffusion?
tiny-mole [99]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Higher velocity of particles

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The diffusion rate is determined by a variety of factors which includes;

  • Temperature such that the higher the temperature, the more kinetic energy the particles will have, so they will move and mix more quickly and the diffusion rate will be high.
  • Concentration gradient such that the greater the difference in concentration, the quicker the rate of diffusion.
  • Higher velocity of particles increases the diffusion rate as this means more kinetic energy by the particles and hence the particles will mix and move faster, thus higher diffusion rate.
