Answer:

The combination of oxygen with other substances to produce new chemical products is called Oxidation.

Explanation:

Oxidation reactions are defined as,

In terms of Inorganic chemistry:

(i) Removal of Electrons:

Example: Mg → Mg²⁺ + 2 e⁻

(ii) Addition of Oxygen:

Example: 2 Mg + O₂ → 2 MgO

In terms of Organic chemistry:

(i) Addition of Electrons:

Example: Cl₂ + 2 e⁻ → 2 Cl⁻

(ii) Addition of Hydrogen:

Example: H₂CCH₂ + H₂ → H₃CCH₃

What is evaporation? Describe what happens at the molecular level during evaporation.

jasenka [17]

Evaporation happens when atoms or molecules escape from the liquid and turn into a vapor. Not all of the molecules in a liquid have the same energy. Sometimes a liquid can be sitting in one place (maybe a puddle) and its molecules will become a gas. That's the process called evaporation. It can happen when liquids are cold or when they are warm. It happens more often with warmer liquids. You probably remember that when matter has a higher temperature, the molecules have a higher energy. When the energy in specific molecules reaches a certain level, they can have a phase change. Evaporation is all about the energy in individual molecules, not about the average energy of a system. The average energy can be low and the evaporation still continues.

Why do you think the location surrounding the pacific ocean is known as the ring of fire

snow_tiger [21]

It is on a plate boundary so there are a lot of volcanoes in that area. All the volcanoes form a "ring" around the plate boundary.

An object has a total mechanical energy of 150 J. At point A, the object has a kinetic energy

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

60 J

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy states that energy is neither created nor destroyed, just converted into different forms. This means the total mechanical energy of the object at point A will be the same as the total mechanical energy at point B, and the question tells us the total of that mechanical energy is 150 J. Note we are assuming no energy is lost from the system as heat.

At point B, if the potential energy is 90 J, the remainder of the 150 J total must be kinetic energy. KE = 150 J - 90 J = 60 J.
