Answer:

The correct option is;

True

Explanation:

Combustion is a chemical reaction between components of a combustion reaction which are;

1) A fuel

2) An oxidizing agent

The oxidizing agent or oxidant in a combustion reaction consist mainly of oxygen.

A combustion reaction is an oxidation and reduction (redox) heat evolving (exothermic) reaction that takes place at high temperatures and produces smoke which consists of gaseous mixture of chemicals and sometimes very small solid particles

An exothermic reaction can be classed either as rapid, spontaneous, or explosive

A spontaneous exothermic reaction is one that begins on its own in atmospheric conditions and room temperature as the heat required to begin the reaction is produced by the initial oxidation of the reacting fuel

Example of a substance that undergoes spontaneous oxidation reaction is white phosphorus.

In one kind of nuclear reaction, two nuclei fuse, or join together, to form a larger nucleus. This kind of reaction happens only

Vladimir79 [104]

High pressures are necessary to create such reaction so that the particles will be able to overcome electrostatic repulsion. The particles that make up a particular atom are covered by shells of energy that react to different impulses like pressure. When particles are exposed to extreme environmental pressure it has the tendency to split its particles and undergo nuclear fusion successfully.

The solubility of oxygen in lakes high in the Rocky Mountains is affected by the altitude. If the solubility of O2 from the air

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

$1.75\cdot 10^{-4} M$

Explanation:

Henry's law states that the solubility of a gas is directly proportional to its partial pressure. The equation may be written as:

$S = k_H p^o$

Where $k_H$ is Henry's law constant.

Our strategy will be to identify the Henry's law constant for oxygen given the initial conditions and then use it to find the solubility at different conditions.

Given initially:

$S_1 = 2.67\cdot 10^{-4} M$
