Answer:
A mixture is a physical combination of substances thus it only requires physical processes to separate.
Answer:
Water lowers the strength and cohesion of clay-rich regolith or soil.
Explanation:
Water can seep into the soil or clay-rich regolith and replace the air in the pore space of the soil or regolith. Water will completely surrounds all the grains of the clay-rich regolith and breaks the bonds in between the grains, that is eliminating all grain to grain contact of the regolith. When the regolith becomes saturated with water, the angle of repose is reduced to very small values and the regolith tends to loose its form.
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.
A large volume of material will have a small amount of mass when the
material in question is gaseous or porous, and therefore has a lot of
space within it despite taking up a large amount of space overall.
