Answer:

B. Electrons are gained, so the oxidation number decreases.

Explanation:

Reduction is the <em>gain of electrons</em>.

Oxidation number is the charge that an atom <em>appears</em> to have when we count its electrons in a specific way.

Electrons have a negative charge so, if an atom gains electrons, its charge (oxidation number) becomes more negative. The oxidation number decreases.

If electrons are given off, the atom is being oxidized. Loss of electrons is <em>oxidation</em>.

If 41grams of water at 24°C absorbs 2208 J of heat energy, what will be the final temperature of the water?
aleksklad [387]
The problem can solved using the heat equation which is expressed as:

H = mCΔT

 where H is the energy absorbed or released, m is the mass of the substance, C is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature.

2208 J = 41 g x 4.18 J/g·°C x ( T - 24 °C) 
T = 36.88 °C

In a photoelectron spectroscopy experiment, photons with wavelength 130 nm cause the ejection of 6 s electrons from gold, but ph
Veronika [31]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The energy of a photon refers to the energy carried by each photon. The energy of a photon is inversely related to its wavelength.

This simply means that the longer the wavelength of a photon, the lower the energy of the photon.

200nm is longer than 130nm, therefore, 130nm photon has more energy than 200nm photon.

This explains the fact that photons with wavelength 130 nm cause the ejection of 6 s electrons from gold, but photons with wavelength 200 nm do not.
