3 reasons why aluminium is used in making of cooking vessels

Annette [7]

Answer is : It is a good thermal and electrical conductor. -The main point to be noted is that aluminium is a highly reactive element and still it is used for making cooking utensils. The reason is that aluminium has a very high affinity for oxygen. So, it reacts with oxygen and forms a layer of aluminium oxide on its surface.

What is the concentration of a solution containing 0.32 moles of NaCl in 3.4 liters?

dsp73

Get the molarity we need to divide the number of moles of NaCl by the volume of the solution. So, 0.32 moles NaCl divided by 3.4 L, and that gives 0.094 M NaCl.

What is true when an element is oxidized? It bonds with the hydroxide ion. It loses electrons to another element. It reacts with

Mama L [17]

Answer: It loses electrons to another element.

Explanation:- Oxidation is the process in which an element loses electrons and there is an increase in the oxidation state. On losing electrons it combines with a electronegative element such as oxygen, sulphur or nitrogen etc.

$Fe\rightarrow Fe^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction is the process in which an element gains electrons and there is a decrease in the oxidation state.

$\frac{1}{2}O_2+2e^-\rightarrow O^{2-}$
