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-)

What best describes the collision between ideal gas molecules
Alika [10]
An ideal gas is defined as one in which all collisions between atoms or molecules are perfectly eleastic and in which there are no intermolecular attractive forces. One can visualize it as a collection of perfectly hard spheres which collide but which otherwise do not interact with each other.

A fossil was analyzed and determined to have a carbon-14 level that is 70 % that of living organisms. The half-life of C-14 is 5
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer: 2948

Explanation:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}

k=\frac{0.69}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}=\frac{0.693}{5730}=1.21\times 10^{-4}years^{-1}

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  = 1.21\times 10^{-4}years^{-1}

t = age of sample  = ?

a = let initial amount of the reactant  = 100

a - x = amount left after decay process = \frac{70}{100}\times 100=70

t=\frac{2.303}{1.21\times 10^{-4}}\log\frac{100}{70}

t=2948years

Thus the fossil is 2948 years old.

Help!!! I need the answer for "explain how using the periodic table can help answer this question"
Tanzania [10]
Well a compound is 2 or more different molecules together. So if you see a periodic table you will see the elements to see if they are the same or not.
