The correct answer is a.) C. Oxidation occurs when an element loses electrons and increases its oxidation state. In the chemical equation, Carbon in CH4 has an oxidation state of 4- while Carbon in CO2 has an oxidation of 4+.

Answer : The correct option is, (a) C

Explanation :

The given balanced reaction is,

CH_4(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+2H_2O(g)

This reaction is a combustion reaction in which a hydrocarbon react with oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water as a product. Or we can say that, on oxidation a hydrocarbon gives carbon dioxide and water.

The gain of oxygen and loss of electrons are the oxidation and the loss of oxygen and gain of electrons are the reduction.

In the given reaction, the element carbon (C) is undergoing oxidation. That means on oxidation the carbon (C) element produces carbon dioxide.

Hence, the correct option is, (a) C

Copper has two naturally occurring isotopes. Cu−63 has a mass of 62.939 amu and relative abundance of 69.17%.
fiasKO [112]
The answer is 64.907 amu.

The atomic mass of an element is the average of the atomic masses of its isotopes. The relative abundance of isotopes must be taken into consideration, therefore:
atomic mass of copper = atomic mass of isotope 1 * abundance 1 + atomic mass of isotope 2 * abundance 2

We know:
atomic mass of copper = 63.546 amu
The atomic mass of isotope 1 is: 62.939 amu
The abundance of isotope 1 is: 69.17% = 0.6917
The atomic mass of isotope 1 is: x
The abundance of isotope 2: 100% - 69.17% = 30.83% = 0.3083

Thus:
63.546 amu = 62.939 amu * 0.6917 + x * 0.3083
63.546 <span>amu = 43.535 amu + 0.3083x
</span>⇒ 63.546 amu - 43.535 amu = 0.3083x
⇒ 20.011 amu = 0.3083x
   ⇒ x = 20.011 amu ÷ 0.3083 = 64.907 amu
