Describe how oxidation and reduction involve electrons, change oxidation numbers, and combine in oxidation-reduction reactions.

2 answers:

4 0

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.

What is the mass of HCL is consumed by the reaction of 1.5 mole of magnesium

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer: 109.5g

Explanation:

Mg + 2HCl —> MgCl2 + H2

From the equation,

1mole of Mg required 2moles of HCl

Therefore 1.5moles of Mg will require = 1.5 x 2 = 3 moles of HCl.

Molar Mass of HCl = 1+35.5 =36.5g/mol

Mass conc. Of HCl = 3 x 36.5 = 109.5g

Which factors help you identify the solute and the solvent in a solution? Select all that apply. In a solution, the solvent is p

KatRina [158]

The answers would be:

In a solution, the solvent is present in a greater amount.

In a solutions, the solute dissolves in a solvent.

In general, these are the best answers. The solute is what is being dissolved and the solvent is what dissolves. A solvent comes in greater amounts in a solution and it is the dissolving agent.

For example, sugar and water.

To make a sugar water solution, you will need to dissolve sugar in water. Sugar is the solute in this case because it is what is being dissolved. The water is the solvent, because it dissolves the sugar.

If you had more sugar than water, then you cannot make a solution.
