because the law of conservation of matter states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical equation

Question 3(multiple choice worth 4 points) (04.04 lc) what does it mean when an element is reduced? it empties a valance shell, reducing its atomic radius. it gains electrons, reducing its overall charge. it increases electronegativity, reducing its ability to bond. it loses electrons, reducing its electron number.

How does a catalyst increase the speed of a reaction? a. the catalyst eliminates the activated complex stage, allowing products to form immediately. b. the catalyst lowers the energy level of the reactants, making it easier for them to react. c. the catalyst makes it easier for the activated complex to form, lowering the activation energy. d. the catalyst raises the energy level of the products, making the reaction finish sooner. reset next

Alice did an experiment to find the relationship between the angle at which a ray of light strikes a mirror and the angle at which the mirror reflects the light. she placed a ray box in front of a mirror. she changed the angle at which the light from the ray box struck the mirror and noted the corresponding angle at which the mirror reflected the light. which of the following is the dependent variable in this experiment? the mirror used to reflect the light the ray box used as the source of light angle at which the light from the ray box strikes the mirror angle at which the mirror reflects the light from the ray box
