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.

Is the mass of the reactants always equal to the mass of the products in a chemical reaction?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer: Yes, the mass of the reactants always equal to the mass of the products in a chemical reaction.

Explanation:

In a balanced chemical reaction, the mass of reactants is always equal to the mass of product that is a chemical reaction follows follows 'Law of Conservation of Mass'.

The law states that ' in a chemical reaction mass can neither be created nor be destroyed.

For example: 2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O

Mass of the reactants = Mass of products

2(2\times 1amu)+1(2\times 16amu)=2(2\times 1amu+16amu)

36 amu = 36 amu

Yes, the mass of the reactants always equal to the mass of the products in a chemical reaction.

Find the mass in kilograms of the liquid air that is required to produce 600L of oxygen. In normal condition, 1L of liquid air h
IgorC [24]

Mass in kilograms of liquid air required = 0.78 kg

<u>Given that </u>

1 Litre of liquid air contains 1.3 grams of oxygen ( air )

<u />

<u> Determine the a</u><u>mount of liquid air</u><u> in Kg</u>

volume of air given = 600 L

mass of liquid air required = x

1 litre = 1.3 grams

600 L =  x

∴ x ( mass of liquid air ) = 1.3 * 600

                                       = 780 g  = 0.78 kg

Hence we can conclude that Mass in kilograms of liquid air required = 0.78 kg

Acid indigestion is sometimes neutralized with an antacid such as magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2). What products will be released
Lunna [17]

Answer: d) MgCl_2 and H_2O​

Explanation:

A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place. The salts which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas.

A neutralization reaction is a double displacement reaction in which an acid reacts with base to produce salt and water. The H^+ ions from water reacts with OH^- ions from base to give water.

2HCl+Mg(OH)_2\rightarrow MgCl_2+2H_2O

Thus products that will be released when the antacid is mixed with the hydrochloric acid in the stomach are MgCl_2 and H_2O​
