The redox reaction is as follows
3Ca + 2Cr³⁺ --> 3Ca²⁺ + 2Cr
in the oxidation reaction the species donates electrons and becomes oxidised.
the oxidised species donates electrons to the other species and reduces the other species hence its called the reducing agent as it reduces the other species. the oxidised species' oxidation number increases.
in the reduction reaction, the species takes in electrons and becomes electrons and its called the oxidising agent as it takes in electrons from the oxidised species thus oxidising the other species. the reduced species' oxidation number decreases.

in this case , Ca becomes oxidised
Ca --> Ca²⁺ + 2e
oxidation number of Ca increases from 0 to +2. since it reduces Cr from Cr³⁺ to Cr, Ca is called the reducing agent

hence answer is Ca, its the reducing agent

Which of the following causes clouds to form? (1 point)
elena-s [515]
The answer is B, early in the morning water covered areas (lakes,ponds,puddles,etc.) will vaporize a little bit because of the heat from the sun and it will continue all day, vapors rise towards the atmosphere and since it's a lot cooler there it will condense into a cloud which is full of tiny frozen water particles. Hope this helps <span />

a plant fertilizer contains 15% by mass nitrogen. in a container of soluble plant food. there are 10.0 oz of fertilizer . how ma
trasher [3.6K]
If we convert the ounces to grams, there are approximately 283.495 grams of plant fertiliser

If nitrogen has 15% of this, all we have to do is divide this number by 100 to get the mass of 1% and multiply it by 15.

In the end, we end up with the mass of 42.5243 g

Hope I helped! xx
