Answer:

C. Gain in electron(s) resulting in a decrease of oxidation number.

Explanation:

Redox reactions are reactions involving transfer of of electron between two species (reduction specie) and (oxidation species) and change resulting in change in oxidation number.

Reduction in terms of redox reaction is the specie that accepts electron(s) and gets "reduced" since its oxidation state has been reduced.

For example

Cl + e- → Cl⁻

The above reaction is an example of reduction reaction taking place in a redox reaction. We can see that Chlorine oxidation state was changed from (0) to (-1) state.

Leona [35]

Answer:

See the explanation below, please.

Explanation:

In the bunsen burner, the gas and air inlet can be regulated manually. In the case of metals (such as lithium and sodium in this case) they contain an electron in the latter in its external electronic configuration. They are characterized by transferring electrons easily and produce the emission of light when excited, producing flames of different colors in the lighter (orange for sodium and red / scarlet for lithium)

the average kinetic energy of the particles in a gas increases as the temperature of the gas increases. explain​
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Explanation: Volume versus Temperature: Raising the temperature of a gas increases the average kinetic energy and therefore the rms speed (and the average speed) of the gas molecules. Hence as the temperature increases, the molecules collide with the walls of their containers more frequently and with greater force.

HELP ASAP! Chemical reactions involving liquids only will be influenced by ALL of the following EXCEPT: a) temperature of the sy
Rom4ik [11]
<span>Chemical reactions involving only liquids will be influenced by ALL of the following EXCEPT: </span><span><span>c) size of reactant particles d) pressure of the system.

</span>Reason:
1) As per Arrhenius theory, rate of chemical reactions is influence by temperature. Mathematically it is expressed as: k = A exp(-Ea/RT)
</span>where, k = rate constant, A = collision frequency, Ea = activation energy, T = temp. From above relation, it can be seen that, chemical reactions involving only liquids will be influenced temperature.

2) Also, if know that, rates of chemical reactions is mathematically expressed as: Rate = [A]^{x} B^{y}....,
where A, B, .. are the reactants.
From above relation, it can be seen that, chemical reactions involving only liquids will be influenced concentration i.e. number of particle. 

3) However, since all the reactant and catalyst used (if any) is in liquid state, particle size of same  will not influence the reaction.

4) Also, since there are no gas-phase reactant, pressure will not affect the reaction.
