Oxidizing agent is that which is reduced and the reducing agent is that which is oxidized. Reduced is when the charged is decreased and oxidized when the charge is increased.

(1)  2Na + 2H2O(l) --> 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)
The charge of Na in the reactant is 0 and the charge of Na in the NaOH is +1. Na is oxidized. Hence, it is the reducing agent. 

The charge of H in H2O is +1 while that in H2 is 0. H is reduced. Hence, it is the oxidizing agent.

(2)  C(s) + O2(g) --> CO2(g)

The charge of C in the reactant side is 0 and that its charge in CO2 is +4. C is oxidized. Hence, it is the reducing agent. 

The charge of O in O2 is 0 while in CO2, its charge is -2. O is reduced. Hence, it is the oxidizing agent.

(3)  2MnO⁻⁴ + SO2 + 2H2O --> 2Mn²⁺ + 5SO2⁻⁴ 4H⁺

The charge of Mn in MnO⁻⁴ is 4+ while its charge in Mn²⁺ is 2+. Mn is reduced. Hence, it is the oxidizing agent.

The charged of S in SO2 is -4 while its charge in SO₂⁻⁴ is 0. S is oxidized. Hence, it is the reducing agent.

I NEED THE ANSWER IMMEDIATELY!!! Pls helppp
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

turgor pressure can be done in a lab or a self test.

turgor pressure is key to the plant’s vital processes. It makes the plant cell stiff and rigid. Without it, the plant cell becomes flaccid. Prolonged flaccidity could lead to the wilting of plants.

Turgor pressure is also important in stomate formation. The turgid guard cells create an opening for gas exchange. Carbon dioxide could enter and be used for photosynthesis. Other functions are apical growth, nastic movement, and seed dispersal.

Explanation:

  • salt is bad for turgor pressure.
  • Turgidity helps the plant to stay upright. If the cell loses turgor pressure, the cell becomes flaccid resulting in the wilting of the plant.
  • The wilted plant on the left has lost its turgor as opposed to the plant on the right that has turgid cells.

How do you show the formation of an ionic bond using a Lewis dot diagram ?
Luden [163]
An x would represent the gained electrons
A . Would represent the valence electrons
You would just draw [ ] around the diagram
And the charge should be placed outside the brackets
