If during an experiment zinc was found to be more reactive than lead or copper, zinc would be considered the strongest _____.

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.

I need help with 4, 5, 8, 9, and 6. Quickly I need it before class starts. Worth points!!!!!! HelP

Answer:

4. 264.6J

5. 37.5J

6. 96J

7. 55Watts

8. 77.14m

9. 6s

10. 750Watts

Explanation:

4). Mechanical energy (potential energy) = mass (m) × acceleration due to gravity (g) × height (h)

m = 3kg, h = 9m, g = 9.8m/s²

P.E = 3 × 9 × 9.8

= 264.6J

5). Kinetic energy (K.E) = 1/2 × m × v²

Where;

m = mass (kg) = 3kg

v = velocity (m/s) = 5m/s

K.E = 1/2 × 3 × 5²

K.E = 1/2 × 3 × 25

K.E = 1/2 × 75

K.E = 37.5J

6). Work done (J) = Force (N) × distance (m)

Force = 12N, distance = 8m

Work done = 12 × 8

= 96J

7). Power = work done (J) ÷ time (s)

Work done = 550J, time = 10s

Power = 550/10

= 55Watts.

8). Work done = force (F) × distance (m)

Work done = 540J, force = 7N, distance = ?

540 = 7 × d

540 = 7d

d = 540/7

d = 77.14m

9). Power = work done (J) ÷ time (s)

Work done = 300J, time = ?, Power = 50Watts.

50 = 300/t

50t = 300

t = 300/50

t = 6seconds.

10). Power = work done (J) ÷ time (s)

This means that;

Power = force × distance / time

Force = 300N, distance = 5m, time = 2s

Power = 300 × 5 ÷ 2

Power = 1500 ÷ 2

Power = 750Watts

A chemical reaction that removes electrons from an atom is called a(n) ________ reaction.

ch4aika [34]

A chemical reaction that removes electrons from an atom is called "O<span>xidation".
The term came from late 18th century from French.
When the electrons are removed from an atom it increase its valence.</span>

Consider a balloon of nitrogen gas and a crystal of sugar sitting on a table at room conditions. Select the appropriate statemen

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

about the same

Explanation:

Thermal energy is constant at a certain temperature in general. The energy is denoted by $K_BT$

Where,

$K_B$ is the Boltzmann constant

T is the absolute temperature

Given that the balloon filled with nitrogen gas and the crystal of sugar are at room conditions means that they have same conditions and thus they will possess same energy irrespective of the states of the matter.

Thus,

The thermal energy of the sugar molecules is <u>about the same</u> as that of nitrogen molecules.
