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.

dmitriy555 [2]

It follows that the reaction is spontaneous at high temperatures Option A.

<h3>What is ΔS ?</h3>

The term ΔS is referred to as the change in the entropy of the system. Now recall that entropy is defined as the degree of disorderliness in a system. If a system is highly disorderly then it means that it has a high entropy. Also, ΔH has to do with the heat change that accompanies a reaction.

We know that both the entropy and the heat change can both either be positive or negative. Now we know that the equation ΔG = ΔH - TΔS can be used to ascertain whether or not a reaction will be spontaneous. If the result is negative, then the reaction will be spontaneous.

As such, when then it follows that the reaction is spontaneous at high temperatures Option A.

your science teacher hands you a small container filled with an unknown liquid substance. he asks you to measure the mass of the
koban [17]
 we are asked in this problem to determine the mass of a liquid in a small container. In order to determine the mass, we use an analytical balance for greater accuracy by first weighing the whole system (liquid+beaker). Then transfer the liquid to another container and completely dry the beaker (wash and dry). measure the weight of the beaker. The mass of the liquid is equal to the mass of the system minus the mass of the beaker.

The electrons between atoms in metallic bonds
fgiga [73]

Answer:

Metallic bonding is the type of chemical bonding that occurs between atoms of metals. In a metallic bond, atoms share their electrons in a way that allows them to form a “sea” of free electrons. This electron sea is responsible for the unique physical and electrical properties of metals.

The half life for the decay of carbon- is years. Suppose the activity due to the radioactive decay of the carbon- in a tiny samp
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The artifact is 570 years old. That is, 5.7 × 10² years.

Explanation:

Radioactive decay follows first order reaction kinetics.

Let the initial activity for fresh Carbon-14 be A₀

And the activity at any other time be A

The rate of radioactive decay is given by

dA/dt = - KA

dA/A = - kdt

Integrating the left hand side from A₀ to A₀/2 and the right hand side from 0 to t(1/2) (where t(1/2) is the radioactive isotope's half life)

In [(A₀/2)/A₀] = - k t(1/2)

In (1/2) = - k t(1/2)

- In 2 = - k t(1/2)

k = (In 2)/t₍₁,₂₎

t(1/2) is given in the question to be 5.73 × 10³ years

k = (In 2)/5730 = 0.000121 /year

dA/A = - kdt

Integrating the left hand side from A₀ to A and the right hand side from 0 to t

In (A/A₀) = - kt

A/A₀ = e⁻ᵏᵗ

A = A₀ e⁻ᵏᵗ

A = 2.8 × 10³ Bq.

A₀ = 3.0 × 10³ Bq.

2.8 × 10³ = 3.0 × 10³ e⁻ᵏᵗ

0.9333 = e⁻ᵏᵗ

e⁻ᵏᵗ = 0.9333

-kt = In 0.9333

- kt = - 0.06899

t = 0.06899/0.000121 = 570.2 years = 5.7 × 10² years
