Every redox reaction consists of two parts, the oxidation and the reduction. Each one separately is called a half - reaction. During the redox reaction there is a transfer of electrons from the substance being oxidized to the substance being reduced.

2. How much energy must be removed from a 50.0 g sample of steam in order to get it to condense
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

113 kJ or 113,000J

Explanation:

Since we are condensing it, a physical change in the state of matter is occurring. 113 kJ or 113,000J because of the following equation: Q = 2260 times 50.  2260 is the Heat of Vaporization constant.

A charged object (like a balloon that's been rubbed on the wall) cant attract an object with a net neutral charge (neither posit
UNO [17]

Answer: A balloon is charged by a process of frictional charging and the object is getting charged by the process of induction.

Explanation:

When two bodies are rubbed against each other, charging by friction or rubbing occurs. The electropositive object loses electrons to electronegative object. Thus, when balloon is rubbed on a wall, it becomes charged.

The charged balloon is able to attract an uncharged object by inducing charge on it without the two objects touching each other. Electrostatic force acts between two charged objects. Charged balloon causes electrons to move at one end thereby inducing opposite charge in the object and thus, charged balloon is able to attract uncharged object.

A substance that, when dissolved in water, produces a solution that conducts electric current very efficiently is called:
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

a strong electrolyte

Explanation:

Let's look at the meaning of the following terms so we can obtain the right answer by means of elimination.

- Strong Electrolyte : A strong electrolyte is a solution/solute that completely, or almost completely, ionizes or dissociates in a solution. These ions are good conductors of electric current in the solution.

- Weak Electrolyte : A weak electrolyte is an electrolyte that does not completely dissociate in aqueous solution. The solution will contain both ions and molecules of the electrolyte. Weak electrolytes only partially ionize in water (usually 1% to 10%)

- Strong ion : Strong ions are cations and anions that exist as charged particles dissociated from their partner ions at physiologic pH. Thus, these ions are “strong” because their ionization state is independent of pH.

Strong Electrolye fits the condition and hence is the correct option.
