Answer:

[Cl-18]⁻ & [Cl-20]⁻

Explanation:

By definition isotopes are elements with the same number of protons by different number of neutrons. Elements X-18 & X-20 have 17 protons and represent Chlorine isotopes Cl-18 & Cl-20 each with 17 protons and 18 electrons to give the isotopes a -1 oxidation state. Both isotope of chlorine have 7 electron in its valence shell and 10 electrons in its core structure.  Gaining 1 electron fills the valence octet and establishes a -1 oxidation state.

A solution at 25 degrees Celsius is 1.0 × 10–5 M H3O+. What is the concentration of OH– in this solution? 1.0 × 10–5 M OH– 1.0 ×
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

1.0 x 10⁻⁹ M OH⁻.

Explanation:

∵ [H₃O⁺][OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴.

[H₃O⁺] = 1.0 x 10⁻⁵ M.

<em>∴ [OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴/[H₃O⁺] </em>= 10⁻¹⁴/(1.0 x 10⁻⁵ M) = <em>1.0 x 10⁻⁹ M.</em>

<em>So, the right choice is: 1.0 x 10⁻⁹ M OH⁻.</em>

What Is Oxidation Reaction
Deffense [45]

Oxidation reaction is a type of reaction wherein there is  a loss of electrons. An oxidation reaction may also be a reducing agent. Example is the reaction Zn + 2H+ = Zn2+ + H2. When you separate them by their half cell reaction, you have 2H+ 1e- = H2. H here is the reducing agent and has lost 1 electron in the process.
