What is oxidized and what is reduced <br> C2H4 + 2O2 → 2CO + 2H2O<br> C2H4 + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 2H2O
Anika [276]

C2H4 is oxidized and O2 is reduced in both reactions.

<h3>What is oxidation/reduction?</h3>

Oxidation is defined in several ways. Some of the definitions are:

  1. The addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen
  2. Increase in the oxidation number of atoms
  3. Addition of electronegative or the removal of electropositive elements

Reduction, on the other hand, is defined as:

  1. Removal of oxygen or addition of hydrogen
  2. Decrease in the oxidation number of atoms
  3. Addition of electropositive elements or the removal of electronegative elements.

In the two reactions, oxygen is being added to C2H4. Thus, C2H4 is being oxidized.

The oxidizing agent is O2. In oxidation reactions, the oxidizing agents usually get reduced. Thus, O2 is reduced in both reactions.

What are the similarities between DIFFUSION, FACILITATED DIFFUSION and OSMOSIS?
nalin [4]
Osmosis and diffusion are related processes that display similarities. Both osmosis and diffusion equalize the concentration of two solutions. Both diffusion and osmosis are passive transport processes, which means they do not require any input of extra energy to occur. In both diffusion and osmosis, particles move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration. Osmosis and facilitated diffusion both account for movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.

Choose the TRUE statement.
dsp73

Mass is calculated by using an objects inertia. Since inertia is a quality of matter that resists motion, we can apply an increasing force to an object until it accelerates.

Then, by measuring its acceleration we can now determine its mass using the simple equation F=m×a, except rewritten as m=Fa.

So we divide the force that we applied by the acceleration rate and we get the objects mass.

Without inertia this cannot be done.


∴ Answer is C
