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.

What is the empirical formula of a substance that contains 12.0 g of c, 2.00 g of h, and 5.33 g of o?
QveST [7]
Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components making up a compound. 
empirical formula can be calculated as follows
                      C                             H                          O
mass          12.0 g                      2.00 g                   5.33 g 
number of moles  
                  12.0 g / 12 g/mol    2.00 g / 1 g/mol       5.33 g / 16 g/mol 
                    = 1.00 mol                = 2.00 mol           = 0.333 mol
divide by the least number of moles
                   1.00 / 0.333              2.00 / 0.333          0.333/ 0.333 
                    = 3.00                     = 6.01                    = 1.00
the number of atoms 
C - 3
H - 6
O - 1
empirical formula is C₃H₆O

Select the structure that corresponds to the molecule name:
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

The name of the molecule is;

1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexachloropropanone

Now, we can see that it contains propanone which is also called acetone. So it will have a double bond with Carbon(C) and Oxygen (O).

Option B has that double bond between C and O that indicates it propanone or acetone.

Thus, it is the correct option.
