The process of oxidation is the loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state by a molecule, atom or ion and reduction is the gain of electrons or a decrease in oxidation state. The oxidation number is the total number of electrons that an atom gains or loses in order to form a chemical bond with another atom. Redox reactions are electron transfer processes and include all chemical reactions in which atoms have their oxidation state changed.

Answer:Oxidation is the loss of electrons.

Reduction is the gain of electrons.

Oxidation increases the oxidation number.

Reduction decreases the oxidation number.

In an oxidation-reduction reaction, the electrons from the oxidized atom or ion are transferred to the atom or ion that is reduced.

Which one of these statements about carbon tetrachloride fire extinguishers is true?
Fofino [41]

Answer;

-Prohibited from use by OSHA

Explanation;

-Carbon tetrachloride is a clear and colorless liquid with an odor similar to that of chloroform.It is employed as a chemical reagent for a number of purposes, as a raw material in chemical manufacture and is, used very widely as a reagent to extinguish fires.

-It volatizes very easily, is a non-conductor of electricity and, as noted above, freezes at very low temperatures.

-It is effective, due to the blanketing effect of its vaporized fumes, on many Class B or volatile, flammable liquid fires and because it will mix with certain volatile, flammable liquids and form a non-burning combination.

I don't quite understand it

So, you need to have same ammount of atoms on the left and on the right side of the equation. You need to count the ammount of attoms of every substance on the left, and make sure that on the right side the ammount is same. For example in the 1st one it’s 6Sn+2P4=2Sn3P4, so that you have 6atoms of Sn on the left and 6 atoms of Sn on the right, same with the P
