IRISSAK [1]2 years ago
6 0

The statement that describes the oxidizing agent in a chemical reaction is the substance that is reduced because it gains electrons (option D).

<h3>What is a redox reaction?</h3>

A redox reaction is a chemical reaction in which some of the atoms have their oxidation number changed.

In a redox reaction, there are oxidizing and reducing agents. The oxidizing agent is the substance that receives electrons from another substance, hence, becoming reduced.

Therefore, the statement that describes the oxidizing agent in a chemical reaction is the substance that is reduced because it gains electrons.

It has been proposed that North America is moving west at about 2 cm per year. How many kilometers would it move in 5,000 years?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer: 0.1 km

Explanation:

1) Multiply the rate (speed) by the time: 2 cm / year × 5,000 year = 10,000 cm

2) Convert cm to km, using these well know conversion factors:

1 km = 1,000 m

1 m = 100 cm

⇒ 10,000 cm × [1 m / 100 cm] × [1 km / 1,000 m] = 0.1 km

Sodium aton has lower electron affinity than chlorine atom why
Citrus2011 [14]
Electron affinity is the energy released when an electron is accepted by a neutral atom forming a negative ion. Chlorine has the higher electron affinity because it readily accepts an electron to become more stable. On the other hand, sodium have to give up an electron to complete its valence shell.

Naphthalene is soluble in diethyl ether, but it is insoluble in water regardless of the solution pH. Explain why this compound c
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Naphthalene is a non polar substance

Explanation:

In chemistry, the principle of like dissolves like is the over aching principle that controls the dissolution of one substance in another.

Naphthalene dissolves in diethyl ether because diethyl ether is a non polar solvent just as naphthalene is a nonpolar substance.

Since water is a polar solvent, it can not dissolves naphthalene at any pH because naphthalene is a nonpolar substance.
