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.
The number<span> of protons in the nucleus of an </span>atom is equal to <span>the </span><span>atomic number of an element. You can also find it by subtracting the number of neutrons from the atomic mass. Atomic Number = Atomic Mass - No. of Neutrons.</span>
Heat transfer to a beaker on a hot plate is an example of conduction.
Explanation:
Conduction is a process where heat is transferred from one particle to another particle. Conduction is mainly possible in case of solids.In case of solids the atoms as well as the molecules are tightly packed through which the kinetic energy can easily pass. Conduction takes place when both the objects are touching each other. But in case of liquids molecules are loosely packed as a result convection takes place.
The end result will be inaccurate as the concentration of the acid or base being calculated will be more concentrated than it actually is due to the endpoint being surpassed
