Oxidation is the Loss of Electrons, and Reduction is the Gain of Electrons
(Remember oil rig - Oxidation Is Loss, Reduction Is Gain)

Since water loses an electron, it gets oxidised, and since carbon dioxide gains an electron, it gets reduced. 
Since both oxidation and reduction occurs, it is called a Redox reaction

If the hydroxide ion [OH-] concentration of an aqueous solution is 1 x 10 -3 M, what is the [H+] in the solution? Is the solutio
Dominik [7]

Answer:

pH = 11, The solution is Basic.

Explanation:

We know that;

[OH-] [H+] = 1 × 10^-14

we are given; [OH-] as 1 x 10^ -3 M

Therefore, we can get the [H+] by;

[H+] = 1 × 10^-14/[OH-]

       = 1 × 10^-14 M/1 x 10^ -3 M

       =  1 × 10^-11 M

But; pH = - log [H+]

Thus,

pH = - log (1 ×10^-11 M)

     =  11

pH = 11, which means the solution is basic.

Cómo se denomina el calor que ponen en juego los sistemas materiales cuando cambian su temperatura? Seleccione una: a. Calor cin
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

La respuesta correcta es: b. Calor sensible

Explanation:

Al absorber calor, un sistema puede: aumentar su temperatura o cambiar de fase (es decir, pasar de un estado de agregación a otro). Los cambios de fase se producen a temperatura constante, por lo que el calor involucrado se denomina calor latente. Por ejemplo, cuando el agua líquida pasa a vapor por calentamiento a la temperatura de ebullición, esta temperatura se mantiene constante hasta que toda la masa de agua pasa al estado vapor. En cambio, cuando el sistema absorbe calor cambiando su temperatura pero permaneciendo en el mismo estado de agregación (por ejemplo, cuando calentamos agua líquida por debajo de la temperatura de ebullición), el calor involucrado se denomina calor sensible.
