How does oxidation differ from reduction

Chemistry
1 answer:
Dima020 [189]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

See the explanation below, please.

Explanation:

In redox reactions (oxide reduction) the transfer of electrons between compounds occurs.

 In oxidation, electrons are lost (positive charge increases). Example:

Mg ---> Mg2 + + 2 e- (passes from Mg ° to Mg 2+)

On the other hand in the reduction, electrons are gained (negative charge increases or the positive one increases). Example:

Cl2 + 2e- ---> 2 Cl- + 2 e- (passes from Cl ° to Cl-)

Answer:

It helps the body remove heat through sweating.

Explanation:

When the weather is hot, the body tries to keep cool by sweating. The high specific heat capacity means that the body doesn't have to lose much water to stay cool.

The high specific heat capacity of water doesn’t heat the body, but it slows down the rate of heat loss when the weather is cool.

B is wrong. The body uses glucose, not water, as an energy source.

C is wrong. The high specific heat capacity of water is not connected with the body's ability to store it.

D is wrong. The high specific heat capacity of water doesn't heat the body, but it slows the rate at which it cools.
