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

Calculate each of the following quantities:<br> (a) Total number of ions in 38.1 g of SrF₂
adelina 88 [10]

The total number of ions in 38.1 g of SrF₂ is 5.479 x 10²³.

<h3>What are ions?</h3>

Ions are the elements with a charge on them. It happens when they share electrons with other atoms to form a compound.

We have to calculate the total number of ions in 38.1 g of .

The molar mass of SrF₂ = 125.62 g/mol

The number of moles = 38.1 g of  1.0 mol / 125.62  = 0.30329 moles

Given that, total moles of SrF₂ ions in  = 1.0 mol of + 2.0 moles of  = 3.0 moles

Total moles of ions in 0.30329 moles of

= (0.30329 moles of SrF₂) x 3.0 / 1.0  = 0.90988 mol ions

We know that,

1.0 mole of ions = 6.023 x 10²³ ions

Thus, the number of total ions = ( 0.90988 mol ions) x  6.023 x 10²³ / 1.0 mol = 5.479 x 10²³ ions

Thus, the number of ions is in 38.1 g of 5.479 x 10²³ ions
