Answer : The option (C) is not an oxidation-reduction reaction.

Explanation :

A : $XeF_6(s)\righatrrow XeF_4(s)+F_2(g)$

This is an oxidation-reduction reaction. In this reaction, the oxidation state of 'Xe' changes from (+6) to (+4) and the oxidation state of 'F ' changes from (-1) to (0). That means 'Xe' shows reduction and 'F' shows oxidation in the reaction.

B : $2Cs(s)+I_2(g)\righatrrow 2Csl(s)$

This is an oxidation-reduction reaction. In this reaction, the oxidation state of 'Cs' changes from (0) to (+1) and the oxidation state of 'I' changes from (0) to (-1). That means 'I' shows reduction and 'Cs' shows oxidation in the reaction.

D : $Zn(s)+2AgNo_3(aq)\rightarrow Zn(NO_3)_2(aq)+Ag(s)$

This is an oxidation-reduction reaction. In this reaction, the oxidation state of 'Zn' changes from (0) to (+2) and the oxidation state of 'Ag' changes from (+1) to (0). That means 'Ag' shows reduction and 'Zn' shows oxidation in the reaction.

C : $2H_2SO_4(aq)+2Ba(OH)_2(aq)\rightarrow 2BaSO_4(s)+4H_2O(I)$

This is not an oxidation-reduction reaction. In this reaction, the oxidation states are not changes.

Hence, the option (C) is not an oxidation-reduction reaction.

An oxidation-reduction reaction happens when hydrogen, oxygen or halogen atoms are transferred, so in this case, your answer would be B.

An asteroid hit the Yucatán Peninsula about 65 million years ago,

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

C. It blocked out sunlight

Explanation:

The asteroid impact 65 million years ago was devastating for lot of the animals and plants, resulting in a mass extinction, most noticeably of the dinosaurs. The impact itself killed a lot of flora and fauna, but it was the effect afterward that was crucial. From this impact, there was so much debris propelled into the atmosphere that the sunlight got blocked. Once this happened, most of the plants died out as they were not able to perform photosynthesis. Because the plants were dying out, the herbivores were left without food, so soon they followed, and because the herbivores died out, the predators died out to because they were left without food. The winners turned out to be the small and not specialized plants and animals.

What happens as a result of an increase in the intensity of a sound wave?

svet-max [94.6K]

The result is the sound will be louder. This is due to the high amount of energy in the sounds.

In order for carbon to be stable and have 8 electrons, it must make 4 total covalent bonds.

In prefer for oxygen to be stable and have 8 electrons, it must make 2 covalent bonds.

So, we can deduce that CO2 looks like this:

O=C=O

This molecule has two double bonds.

Water is wet. true or false? Why?

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

True water is wet because when something is wet in this case it's water it has water on it at a molecular level. Water molecules are bonded on top of each other so it's wet.
