By the transfer of one or more electrons from one atom to another
for example,
2Na + Cl₂ → 2Na⁺Cl⁻
Na - e⁻ → Na⁺
Cl₂ + 2e⁻ → 2Cl⁻
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Reduction is a gain of electrons, oxidation is a loss of electrons, and electron transfer reactions are also called redox reactions.

Answer:
At the burner temp. and pressure, 18.85 litres of air is needed to completely combust each gram of propane
Explanation:
The combustion stoichiometry is as follows:
C₃H₈ + 5O₂ = 4 H₂O + 3CO₂ The molecular weights (g/mol) are:
MW 44 5x32 4x18 3x44
So each gram of propane is 1/44 = 0.02272 mol propane
and will need 5 x 0.02272 = 0.1136 mol oxygen
At 0.21 mol fraction oxygen in air, 0.1136 / 0.21 = 0.54 mol air is needed to burn the propane.
At the low pressure in the burner we can use the Ideal Gas Law
PV=nRT, or V = nRT/P
P = 1.1 x 101325 Pa = 111457 Pa
T = 195°C + 273 = 468 K
R = 8.314
and we calculated n = number of moles air = 0.54 mol
So V m³ = 0.54 x 8.314 x 468 / 111457 = 0.0188 m³ = 18.85 litres air.
Answer: Hydrogen molecules will have greatest average speed.
Explanation:
The formula for average speed is :
R = gas constant
T = temperature
M = Molecular Mass
Now putting all the values:
Thus average speed of hydrogen is 8 times the average speed of oxygen. Thus hydrogen molecules will have greatest average speed
