Answer:
Explanation:
a. Oxidation : 2O + 4e^- ------> 2O^2-
b. Reduction: 2Sr - 4e- -------> Sr^2+
c. Balanced redox reaction
2Sr + O2 ------------> 2Sr O
Oxidation and reduction can be defined by various means, addition of oxygen, removal of hydrogen, removal of electrons. For this reaction, this definition is used, oxidation is the loss of electrons while reduction is the gaining of electrons.
In (a) oxidation half reaction, the valency of oxygen is zero and then moves into lossing two electrons resulting into -2 valency.
In (b) reduction half reaction, the valency of Sr is zero and gains electrons resulting into valency of 2.
In the overall redox reaction, Sr and O2 with valency of 0 each reacts together and form SrO with valency of 2 and -2 respectively, which gives 0 and then balances the equation.
Something created for using science for use by society. Hence, option A is correct.
<h3>What is science?</h3>
Science is the pursuit and application of knowledge and understanding of the natural and social world following a systematic methodology based on evidence.
Technology is the use of science to provide human problem. It can be in the form of a machine, tool or equipment. As long as it involves applying a scientific process, it's technology.
Example of technology is a computer. It's used to store and process data in a faster way. Old technology also included Hammer, Saw, Grinding Machines etc.
Hence, option A is correct.
