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.

2Na2SO4 :How many atoms for each element are in the formula?<br><br> S=<br> O=<br> Na=
yuradex [85]

Answer:

S=  2(1)  = 2

O=  2(4)  = 8

Na= 2(2)  = 4

Explanation:

The given compound is:

          2Na₂SO₄  

An element is a distinct substance that cannot be split up into simpler substances.

So;

  Number of atoms of elements here are:

S=  2(1)  = 2

O=  2(4)  = 8

Na= 2(2)  = 4

If a buffer solution is 0.190 m in a weak acid (ka = 8.2 × 10-5) and 0.590 m in its conjugate base, what is the ph?\
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
<span>You use the Henderson - Hasselbalch equation pH = pKa + log ([salt]/[acid]) pKa = -log (8.2*10^-5) = 4.081 pH = 4.081 + (0.590/0.190) pH = 4.081 + log 3.105 pH = 4.081 + 0.49206 pH = 4.573</span>

Which describes a way to speed up the collisions between hydrogen and oxygen molecules to produce more water?
rodikova [14]
<span>Equation:2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(g)
</span><span>
Smaller container means less volume, and the molecules will hit the walls of the container more frequently because there's less space available and the pressure will go up. I guess this would mean that the side with fewer moles would be favored as a result. We count the number of moles on the reactants and products and find that there are fewer moles on the product side, so I guess this would favor the product formation.

Determine if the equation is endothermic or exothermic examples
Fittoniya [83]
There are a couple of ways todetermine if a reaction is exothermic or endothermic. Endothermic meaning that heat is added to the reaction to make the reactants interact and exothermic meaning heat is released during the reaction between the two reactants.


In endothermic reactions you can find a triangle above the arrow.

Determine the number of grams in each of the quantities<br><br> 1.39.0 x 1024 molecules Cl2
STatiana [176]

Mass of Cl₂ : 164.01 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

A mole is a number of particles(atoms, molecules, ions)  in a substance

This refers to the atomic total of the 12 gr C-12  which is equal to 6.02.10²³, so 1 mole = 6.02.10²³ particles  

Can be formulated :

N = n x No

N = number of particles

n = mol

No = 6.02.10²³ = Avogadro's number

mol Cl₂ :

\tt n=\dfrac{N}{No}\\\\n=\dfrac{1.39.10^{24}}{6.02.10^{23}}\\\\n=2.31

mass Cl₂(MW=71 g/mol) :

\tt mass=mol\times MW\\\\mass=2.31\times 71=164.01
