Document Summary

Antioxidant is really willing to give off electrons so that the oxidant will oxidize the antioxidant first, leaving other compound alone. Reducing agent: reactant that causes reduction . First, al is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons. As you go up in altitude, p drops. Pv = nrt, where r is the ideal gas constant. If you increase v, t has to increase (all else equal) If you decrease v, t has to decrease (all else equal) P (1/v), meaning p is inversely proportional to v. If you increase p, v goes down (all else equal) If you decrease p, v goes down (all else equal) There exists a lowest possible temperature: -273. 15 o c, which is 0 kelvin. Unless you are dealing with delta t, which is the change in temperature, then it is okay to leave the t in o c. No interactions between gas particles, aka totally elastic collisions, no attractions, All ideal gases behave exactly the same.
