23. metal corrosion is a reaction during which a metal becomes oxidized. which of the statements below are true about this kind of reaction? check all that apply.
a) if oxygen is involved, it supplies electrons to the metal.
b) the oxidation state of the metal increases (its oxidation number becomes more positive).
c) the oxidation process involves loss of electrons by the metal.
d) there must be direct contact between the metal and oxidizer for electron transfer to take place.
e) another atom must be reduced as the metal is oxidized.

Which statement describes the appearance of a temperature-vs.-time graph? a horizontal line shows that the temperature increases at a constant rate over time. a vertical line shows that the temperature decreases at a constant rate over time. horizontal lines where the temperature is constant during phase changes connect upward-sloping lines where the temperature increases. horizontal lines where the temperature increases are connected by upward-sloping lines where the temperature is constant for each phase.

Between 2014 and 2016, more than 25,000 children in flint, michigan, drank water that was contaminated with lead from lead pipes. during this time, the city claimed the water was safe to drink. which of these actions could the city have taken to ensure that the drinking water was free from lead?

Modern pennies are composed of zinc coated with copper. a student determines the mass of a penny to be 2.482 g and then makes several scratches in the copper coaling (to expose the underlying zinc). the student puts the scratched penny in hydrochloric acid, where the following reaction occurs between the zinc and the hcl (the copper remains undissolved): zn(s) + 2 hcl(aq) → h2(g) + zncl(aq)the student collects the hydrogen produced over water at 25 °c. the collected gas occupies a volume of 0.899 l at a total pressure of 79 j mmhg. calculate the percent zinc (by mass) in the penny. (assume that all the zn in the penny dissolves.)
