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.
An acid has a pH <7. 7 is the pH of a neutral substance, like water, and substance with a pH >7 are considered basic or alkaline.
Answer:
D H2PO4– + HPO42–
Explanation:
The acid dissociation constant for 
are 
respectively.
The reason while option D is the best answer is that, the value of pKa for both
lies on either side of the desired pH of the buffer. This implies that one is slightly over and the other is slightly under.
Using Henderson-Hasselbach equation:
