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.

Which choice represents a pair of resonance structures? Note that lone pairs have been omitted for clarity. View Available Hint(
stepladder [879]

Answer:

A. O=C=O and O≡C−O

Explanation:

Resonance:                                                                                                                

          When the electron distribution on the molecule become uneven like one molecule have more electron compare to other.Resonance occurs due to overlap of the orbitals.When electron flow through pi system then resonance occurs.

So the option A is correct.

A. O=C=O and O≡C−O

In one of his experiments, Lavoisier placed 10.0 grams of mercury (II) oxide into a sealed container and heated it. The mercury
inysia [295]

Oxygen gas produced : 0.7 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

10.0 grams HgO

9.3 grams Hg

Required

Oxygen gas produced

Solution

Reaction⇒Decomposition

2HgO(s)⇒2Hg(l)+O₂(g)

Conservation of mass applies to a closed system, where the masses before and after the reaction are the same

mass of reactants = mass of products

mass  HgO = mass Hg + mass O₂

10 g = 9.3 g + mass O₂

mass O₂ = 0.7 g

List the ions in solution in the electrolysis of conc.sodium chloride<br>​
Licemer1 [7]
Chloride ions Cl –(aq) (from the dissolved sodium chloride) are discharged at the positive electrode as chlorine gas, Cl 2(g) sodium ions Na +(aq) (from the dissolved sodium chloride) and hydroxide ions OH –(aq) (from the water) stay behind - they form sodium hydroxide solution, NaOH(aq)
