#1: The element that loses electrons in a chemical reaction is said to have been which of the following?
A. reduced
B. oxidized
C. combusted
D. rusted
**idk, is it reduced or oxidized??
Answer: oxidized. The element that loses electrons increases its oxidation number (becomes more positve or less negative) and this is oxidation.
Which type of reaction occurs if one element gains electrons and another loses electrons?
A. combustion
B. synthesis
C. oxidation-reduction
D. double-displacement
**my answer: C
Yes, oxidation-reduction
#3: What is the oxidation number for phosphorus in H4P2O7?
A. +5
B. +3
C. +1
D. - 1
**my answer: A. +5
This is the way to calculate it 4(+1) + 2x + 7(-2) = 0 => x = +5
#4: What is the oxidation number for phosphorus in Na2HPO3?
A. +5
B. +3
C. +1
D. - 1
**my answer; B. +3
is that right??
Right
2(+1) + 1 + x + 3(-2) = 0 => x = 6 -1 -2 = 3 (positive)
1 Science is certain about ending up with the actual explanation while pseudoscience does not ensure that.
2
Science is involved with a set of principles to work, while pseudoscience is not operated in a unique method.
3 Science is based on tangible or perceptible evidence, but pseudoscience could be based on some superficial or outlandish concepts.
4 Science result the truth while pseudoscience results the myth.
Spread out, usually in every direction.
