Answer:

Originally, the term oxidation was used to describe reactions where an element combines with oxygen. For example, the oxidation of magnesium involves the chemical reaction between magnesium metal and oxygen to form magnesium oxide. The word reduction comes from the “to lead back” sense of the Latin stem.

Explanation:

<h3>Oxidation: When an atom or compound loses one or more electrons, this is called oxidation. Oxidation process: In the oxidation process, the properties of the atom </h3><h3>or compound change.</h3>

When involved in a chemical reaction with a metal, what charge will elements in the oxygen family most likely form?
irina [24]
They have 6 electron in their outer orbital. That means they want 2 electrons to be stable. Since metals have the tendency to give electron oxygen receives 2 electrons. The answer is -2

Solid sodium reacts violently with water, producing heat, hydrogen gas, and sodium hydroxide. How many molecules of hydrogen gas
Butoxors [25]
<span>Answer: 1.06 moles of molecules = 6.38x10²³ molecules
</span><span />

<span>Explanation:
</span><span />

<span>1) Balanced chemical equation:
</span><span />

<span>2Na + 2H₂O -> 2NaOH + H₂
</span><span />

<span>2) Mole ratios:
</span><span />

<span>2 mol Na : 2 mol H₂O : 2 mol NaOH : 1 mol H₂
</span><span />

<span>3) Convert 48.7 g of sodium to moles:
</span><span />

<span>number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass
</span><span />

<span>molar mass of Na = atomic mass = 23.0 g/mol


</span><span>number of moles = 48.7g / 23.0 g/mol = 2.12 moles of Na</span>
<span /><span>
4) Proportion:
</span><span />

<span>2moles Na/1mol H₂ = 2.12 moles Na / x
</span><span />

<span>x = 2.12 moles Na * 1 mol H₂ / 2 moles Na = 1.06 moles H₂.
</span><span />

<span>5) If you want to convert that to number of molecules you have to multiply by Avogadro's number: 6.022 x 10^²³
</span><span />

<span>1.06 mol x 6.022x10^²³ molecules/mol = 6.38x10²³ molecules</span>

Identify the process in which the entropy increases. Identify the process in which the entropy increases. the phase transition f
diamong [38]

Answer:

The phase transition from a solid to a gas.

Explanation:

Entropy is related to the moles of gases available. The more gaseous moles, the higher the entropy.

<em>Identify the process in which the entropy increases.</em>

  • <em>the phase transition from a solid to a gas</em>. YES. There are more gaseous moles available so entropy increases.
  • <em>a decrease in the number of moles of a gas during a chemical reaction</em>. NO. This causes a decrease in entropy.
  • <em>the phase transition from a liquid to a solid</em>. NO. There is almost no change in the entropy in this process.
  • <em>the phase transition from a gas to a liquid</em>. NO. There is a decrease in entropy in this process.
  • <em>the phase transition from a gas to a solid</em>. NO. There is a decrease in entropy in this process.
