Answer:

D. Oxidation

Explanation:

In an <em>electrolytic cell</em>, oxidation (the loss of electrons) takes place at the anode. At the cathode reduction takes place.

A mnemonic technique that could be used is that the process that starts with a vowel (Oxidation) takes place at the place that also starts with a vowel (Anode).

An air mass usually forms in an area of _____. low pressure because it's stable low pressure because it's unstable high pressure

horsena [70]

Answer: high pressure because it's stable

Explanation:

Air mass is volume of air which has stable temperature, humidity and pressure horizontally. Over time, each air mass acquires properties of the region by residing over same part of a surface.

Areas of low pressure and high pressure occur where there is warm air and cold air respectively. An air mass usually forms over an area of high pressure. Warm air rises up and cold air takes its place. Warm air has low density and low pressure where as cold air has high density and pressure and therefore, sinks to the bottom. This is a stable condition. The movement of air mass is responsible for maintenance of temperature conditions on Earth.

1st one= CaO +H2O=Ca(OH)2
product side-
Ca=1
O=2
H=2
Reactant side-
Ca=1
O=2
H=2
The first one is balanced for you
There is 1 calcium on each side 2 oxygens on each side and 2 hydrogens on each side

a sample of ammonia contains 9g hydrogen and 42g nitrogen. another sample contains 5g hydrogen .calculate the amount of nitrogen

balandron [24]

9 g of hydrogen - 42 g of nitrogen
5 g of hydrogen - x g of nitrogen

$9x=42 \cdot 5 \\
9x=210 \\
x \approx 23.33$

The mass of nitrogen in the second sample is 23.33 g.

vredina [299]

Answer:

2.645

Explanation:

Rate of diffusion formula:

Sqrt(mass2/mass1)

>>sqrt(14/2)

(Note:Hydrogen must exist in dwiatomic, [H2])
