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.

the tilt of the Earth on its axis

Seasons change because of the tilt of the Earth and the planet's movement around the Sun. Did you know? It takes about 365.25 days for the Earth to orbit the Sun. We have leap years to make up for the extra ¼ day!

A sample of a compound contains ​0.300 mol​ ​of carbon​ and ​1.20 mol​ ​of hydrogen​. What is the ​empirical formula of the comp
Margarita [4]

Answer:

CH4

Explanation:

The number of moles of carbon and hydrogen has been given as follows:

C = ​0.300 mol​ ​

H = ​1.20 mol

Next, we divide each mole value by the smallest (0.300)

C = 0.300 ÷ 0.300 = 1

H = 1.20 ÷ 0.300 = 4

The empirical ratio of Carbon and Hydrogen is 1:4, hence, the empirical formula is CH4

Determine the percent composition by mass of a 100g salt solution which contains 20g salt
prisoha [69]

Answer:

Mass of solution=100g

mass of salt=20g

so; mass of solute=80g

percentage composition =(mass of salt/total

mass) ×100

=  \frac{20}{100}  \times 100 \\  = 20\%

glad to help you

hope it helps
