Answer:
0.2
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of helium = 0.628g
Mass of neon = 11.491g
Mass of argon = 7.613g
Unknown:
Mole fraction of neon = ?
Solution:
The mole fraction of an element is the number of moles of that element to the total number of moles in the gas mixture.
We need to calculate the number of moles of each element first;
Number of moles = 
Molar mass of Helium = 4g/mol
Molar mass of Neon = 20g/mol
Molar mass of Argon = 40g/mol
Number of moles of He =
= 0.16moles
Number of moles of Ne =
= 0.58moles
Number of moles of Ar =
= 0.19moles
Total number of moles = 0.16moles + 0.58moles + 0.19moles = 0.93moles
Mole fraction Neon =
= 0.2
Shifting plates, underwater volcanoes. many different variables come in play
You're right it's the oceans.. since most is salt water, the salt has to be boiled out
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.
