Answer:B) a reactant that undergoes reduction

Explanation:

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases during oxidation.

$M\rightarrow M^++e^-$

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced during reduction.

$N^++e^-\rightarrow N$

Overall reaction: $M+N^+\rightarrow M^++N$

The substance M which itself gets oxidized, reduces other and is called as reducing agent. The substance N which itself gets reduced, oxidizes other and is called as oxidizing agent.

Answer:

Number of moles of photons required = 5.04 × 10⁴ moles

Explanation:

The energy of a photon can be calculated from Planck's equation E = hc/λ

Where h = 6.63 × 10-³⁴ Js and c, the velocity of light = 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s

Energy of one mole of photons = N₀ × hc/λ

wavelength of photon, λ = 520 nm = 5.20 × 10-⁷ m

Energy of one mole of photons = 6.02 × 10²³ × 6.63 × 10−³⁴ × 3 × 10⁸/5.20 × 10-⁷

Energy of one mole of photons = 2.30 × 10⁵ J/mol

Energy required to raise the temperature of a given mass of a substance, E = mcΔT

Where m is mass of substance, c is specific heat capacity, ΔT is temperature difference

Mass ofnwternin the pool = volume × density

Volume of water = Volume of swimming pool

Volume of water = 16 × 34 × 6 ft³ = 3264 ft³

1 ft³ = 28316.8 cm³; 3264 ft³ = 28316.8 × 3264 = 92426035.2 cm³

Density of water = 1 g/cm³

Mass of water = 92426035.2 cm³ × 1 g/cm³ = 92426035.2g

ΔT = 80°C - 50°C = 30°C, c = 4.18 J/g/K

Energy required to raise 92426035.2 g water by 30° C = 92426035.2 × 4.18 × 30

Energy required = 1.16 × 10¹⁰ J

Hence, number of moles of photons required = 1.16 × 10¹⁰ J/2.30 × 10⁵ J/mol

Number of moles of photons required = 5.04 × 10⁴ moles

We say that salts will dissociate but acids will react with water. We say that acids will

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

ionize

Explanation:

Acids are chemical substances that lose/donate their hydrogen ion (H+) when they react with water. This property of acids is termed IONIZATION. In a chemical reaction involving acids and bases, acids release their proton or hydrogen ion (H+) in the presence of water solutions to form a conjugate base, which is usually an anion.

For example, in the chemical reaction;

HX + H20 -------> X- + H30+

HX is the acid because it loses its electron to water and forms the anion, X-, which is the conjugate base. Hence, it can be said that acid HX ionizes in water.
