In a redox reaction, why does an element's oxidation number increase

Chemistry

Kazeer [188]2 years ago
5 0
If the element is oxidized, then it's oxidation number would increase.

Let's say we have the following reaction.
2H2O --> O2 + 2H2

To the left, the oxidation number of O is -2, as it is bonded to two H, which is always H+. To the right, we have O2, and all gases have a oxidation number of 0 (zero). We say that O has been oxidized.

Under which of the following conditions would a chemical reaction most likely proceed at the fastest rate?
Valentin [98]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option A is correct

Adding an enzyme to decrease the activation energy of the reaction

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Enzymes are the biological catalyst. They are proteins in nature. They are naturally found in humans,animals,micro-organisms,plants etc. They catalyze the chemical reactions by lowering activation energy and without being consumed in it.

If aluminum is diffused into a thick slice of silicon with no previous aluminum in it at a temperature of 1100˚C for 8 hours, wh
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

8.354 nanometers

Explanation:

To treat a diffusive process in function of time and distance we need to solve  2nd Ficks Law. This a partial differential equation, with certain condition the solution looks like this:

\frac{C_{s}-C{x}}{C_{s}-C_{o}}=erf(x/2\sqrt{D*t})

Where Cs is the concentration in the surface of the solid

Cx is the concentration at certain deep X

Co is the initial concentration of solute in the solid

and erf is the error function

Then we solve right side,

\frac{C_{s}-C{x}}{C_{s}-C_{o}}=\frac{1018atoms/cm3-1016atoms/cm3}{1018atoms/cm3}=0.001964

And we need to look up the inverse error function of 0.001964 resulting in: 0.00174055

Then we solve for x:

x=0.00174055*2*\sqrt{D*t} =0.00174055*2*\sqrt{2*10^{-12}cm^{2}/s*8h*3600s/h}=8.35464*10^{-7}cm

Which list best represents the flow of stimuli information in the body?
Vlad1618 [11]
The flow of stimuli information in the body is from the receptors to sensory neuron (afferent neurons) to the interneurons then to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) then is carried of by the motor neurons (efferent neurons) to the mucles involve.

Sensation to transduction to perception. Sensation is the ambiguous information which is received by the receptors or sensory organ henceforth, transduction occurs in the nerve cell protruding to the brain and is now called perception as the vague stimuli is interpreted and processed to be understood then is responded with the proper and apt response or reaction.
