Which process is an oxidation?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Zarrin [17]3 years ago

<span>The problem has to do with oxidation states of the matter. The oxidation state of oxygen will always be -2 with the exception of peroxides which will have a state of -1. The overall balanced state of chemical compounds will be 0, so the oxidation state of Mn in MnO2 will be +4. The oxidation state of MnO4- will then be +7 to balance out to the negative one charge. The state change from +4 to +7 is 3, thus three electrons have to be lost in order for this to happen; a loss of a charge of -3 results in an increase of charge of 3. Oxidation is always the process of 'losing' electrons.

</span><span>E] MnO2(s) MnO4-(aq</span>

I suppose because of the fact that the relative humidity is taking away your heat and making you feel cool, I think that you would feel cooler than someone who was dry.

The sum of all percent abundances for magnesium is equal to 100. explain why this is reasonable.
kow [346]
Elements occur naturally in different forms called isotopes. These are the same atoms with the same number of protons but has different number of neutrons. Almost all elements exist in nature as such. The amounts of these isotopes are expressed in terms of percent abundances and since it is in a percentage units, the sum of all the abundances should equate to 100 percent or else the calculation is wrong. This is not true onlt for magnesiun but with all of the elements. The atomic mass of these elements also depends on the percent abundances of the isotopes since it is a weighted average value of the individual masses of the isotopes.

Select the correct answer. How does a catalyst increase the speed of a reaction?
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

A catalyst is a substance that can be added to a reaction to increase the reaction rate without getting consumed in the process. Catalysts typically speed up a reaction by reducing the activation energy or changing the reaction mechanism.
