Remember the acronym "Oil Rig". Oxidation is loss, Reduction is gain of electrons. Calcium is losing electrons so it's an oxidation reaction.
D. because matter is uniform through and cannot be separated into other substances by physical means.
Answer:
(slow)xy2+z→xy2z (fast) c step1:step2:xy2+z2→xy2z2
Explanation:
Step1: xy2+z2→xy2z2 (slow)
Step2: xy2z2→xy2z+z (fast)
2XY 2 + Z 2 → 2XY 2 Z
Rate= k[xy2][z2]
When the two elementary steps are summed up, the result is equivalent to the stoichiometric equation. Hence, this mechanism is acceptable. The order of both elementary steps is 2, which is ‘≤3’; this also makes this mechanism acceptable. Furthermore, the rate equation aligns with the experimentally determined rate equation, and this also makes this mechanism acceptable. Therefore, since all the three rules have been observed, this mechanism is possible.
