Zinc would be considered the strongest reducing agent.

<h3>Reducing agent</h3>

A reducing agent is a chemical species that "donates" one electron to another chemical species in chemistry (called the oxidizing agent, oxidant, oxidizer, or electron acceptor). Earth metals, formic acid, oxalic acid, and sulfite compounds are a few examples of common reducing agents.

Reducers have excess electrons (i.e., they are already reduced) in their pre-reaction states, whereas oxidizers do not. Usually, a reducing agent is in one of the lowest oxidation states it can be in. The oxidation state of the oxidizer drops while the oxidizer's oxidation state, which measures the amount of electron loss, increases. The agent in a redox process whose oxidation state rises, which "loses/donates electrons," which "oxidizes," and which "reduces" is known as the reducer or reducing agent.

The pressure of a sample of helium in a 200. ml. container is 2.0 atm. If the 5 points
just olya [345]

The pressure of the gas = 40 atm

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

200 ml container

P = 2 atm

final volume = 10 ml

Required

Final pressure

Solution

Boyle's Law  

At a fixed temperature, the gas volume is inversely proportional to the pressure applied  

\tt \rm p_1V_1=p_2.V_2\\\\\dfrac{p_1}{p_2}=\dfrac{V_2}{V_1}

Input the value :

P₂ = P₁V₁/V₂

P₂ = 2 x 200 / 10

P₂ = 40 atm

Which bonds are formed when elements share electrons and form molecules?.
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

A covalent bond

Explanation:

the atoms bond by sharing electrons. Covalent bonds usually occur between nonmetals. For example, in water (H2O) each hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) share a pair of electrons to make a molecule of two hydrogen atoms single bonded to a single oxygen atom.

What can acid rain do to buildings and statues
anastassius [24]
<h3>Answer</h3>

The chemicals that acid rain contains can have damaging effects on objects like buildings, monuments, statues, and cars.

Its components can make paint to be peel, stone construction appears old, worn down which reduces the architectural value and beauty.

<h2>Explanation</h2>

Depending on how acidic the rain is, it can obliterate these constructions to a brutal degree.

First, components like sulfurous, sulfuric and nitric acids mix with air and rain. Then they react with calcite or calcium-based compounds in marble and limestone and dissolve calcite. 

The dry depositions of acidic particles contribute severely to the corrosion of construction materials, building paints, stones like marble, limestones and various type of granites.

Acid rains aggravate the life value of buildings and architectural structures.
