When potassium metal is placed in water, a large amount of energy is released as potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas are produced in the reaction 2K(s) + 2H2O(l) - 2KOH(aq) + H2(g). Your lab partner says this is a redox reaction and a combustion reaction. Do you agree? Defend your answer by explaining whether or not it meets the requirements of each type of reaction.

Answerd. may include all of these are many definitions of bases: the  brønsted-lowry definition of acids and bases says that bases are proton acceptors.the arrhenius definition of acids and bases says that bases increase [oh⁻] in solution (thereby producing oh⁻ ions)the lewis definition of acids and bases says that bases donate electron pairs.therefore, the sensible answer is that a base may include all of the described characteristics.

(no3)⁻n has oxidation number x,o has oxidation number -2.(x*1 -2*3) charge of the nitrate ion, and we know that charge of the nitrate ion =-1.so,(x*1 -2*3) =-1x-6=-1x=+5answer a. +5.

Those are different gas lawshere is a brief description of themcharles's law states that volume and temperature are directly proportional to each other as long as pressure is held constant.  boyle's law asserts that pressure and volume are inversely proportional to each other at fixed temperature.gay-lussac's law introduces a direct proportionality between temperature and pressure as long as it is at a constant volume.    source:
