The transfer of electrons between species in a chemical reaction where there is a process of gaining electrons or a decrease in the oxidation state by an element.
Ierofanga [76]3 years ago

Answer:

Reduction involves a half-reaction in which a chemical species decreases its oxidation number, usually by gaining electrons. The other half of the reaction involves oxidation, in which electrons are lost. Together, reduction and oxidation form redox reactions (reduction-oxidation = redox).

If I had a liquid in a container, and I took some of the liquid away,would the density of the liquid still be the same? Please p
White raven [17]
Yes, because density is mass divided by volume. Density can't change unless a chemical change takes place, because density is how close together the molecules in a type of matter are. For example, the density of water is 1,000 kg/m³.

Which one of the following is an oxidation-reduction reaction?
kupik [55]

Answer:

CH4 + 2 O2 --> CO2 + 2 H2O

Explanation:

CH4 + 2 O2 --> CO2 + 2 H2O is the only reaction where an element (oxygen) undergoes a change in oxidation state. In this reaction oxygen changes disproportionately to O⁻². That is ...

O₂ → CO₂ + 4e⁻ ==> oxidation

<u>O₂ + 4e⁻  →  H₂O ==> reduction </u>

2O₂ + 4e⁻  →  CO₂ + H₂O + 4e⁻  ==> Net oxidation-reduction

=>  4e⁻ gained by one mole O₂ in formation of CO₂ = 4e⁻ lost by the other mole O₂ in forming H₂O.

Then...

Including CH₄ (whose elements do not undergo changes in oxidation states) requires doubling reaction to balance by mass thus giving ...

2CH₄ + 2O₂ + 8e⁻  →  2CO₂ + 2H₂O + 8e⁻

Cancelling 8 reduction electrons on left with 8 oxidation electrons on right gives...

2CH₄ + 2O₂  →  2CO₂ + 2H₂O

How many grams of co2 are contained in 550 ml of the gas at stp?
dybincka [34]
V = 550 mL = 0.550 L
V = 22.4 L/mol   (STP)
M(CO₂)=44.01 g/mol

n(CO₂)=v/V

m(CO₂)=n(CO₂)M(CO₂)=vM(CO₂)/V

m(CO₂)=0.550*44.01/22.4=1.08 g

How many molecules are in 2.5 mol of NaCl?
Vlada [557]

Answer:

1.51 x 10²⁴molecules

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of NaCl  = 2.5moles

Unknown:

Number of molecules  = ?

Solution:

The number of molecules that can be found in a given mole is given as the Avogadro's constant;

       1 mole of substance  = 6.02 x 10²³ molecules

       2.5 mole of NaCl  = 2.5 x 6.02 x 10²³ molecules

                                       = 1.51 x 10²⁴molecules
