Answer: It loses electrons to another element.
Explanation:- Oxidation is the process in which an element loses electrons and there is an increase in the oxidation state. On losing electrons it combines with a electronegative element such as oxygen, sulphur or nitrogen etc.

Reduction is the process in which an element gains electrons and there is a decrease in the oxidation state.

Answer:
D. 15.8atm
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial pressure = 13atm
Initial temperature = 34°C = 34 + 273 = 307K
Final temperature = 100°C = 100 + 273 = 373K
Unknown:
Final pressure = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we apply a derivation of the combined gas law taking the volume as a constant.
The expression is shown mathematically below;
=
P and T pressure and temperature values
1 and 2 are initial and final states
Insert the parameters and solve for T₂;
=
P₂ = 15.8atm
Answer:
THE LENGTH OF THE AIR COLUMN IS 9.5 CM
Explanation:
Taking the atmospheric pressure to be 760 mmHg;
When the capillary tube is held horizontally, the pressure of the tube is 760 mmHg
when the capillary tube is held vertically, the pressure increases by 4 cm = 40 mm
The new pressure of the tube is hence, 760 + 40 mmHg = 800 mmHg
Using the pressure forlmula;
P1 V1 = P2 V2
P1 A1 L1 = P2 A2 L2
where A1 and A2 is the area of the capillary tube and it is equal, it cancels out.
P1 l1 = P2 l2
l2 = P1 l1 / P2
l2 = 760 * 10 / 800
l2 = 9.5 cm
The length of the air in the tube is 9.5 cm.
