Answer : The correct option is, 2F^-\rightarrow F_2+2e^-

Explanation :

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In the oxidation reaction, the oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

Oxidizing agent : It is defined as the substance which has ability to oxidize the other substances by gaining electrons.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In the reduction reaction, the oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

Reducing agent : It is defined as the substance which has ability to reduce the other substances by losing electrons.

From the given options, we conclude that

(1) O_2+4e^-\rightarrow 2O^{2-}

(2) SO_3+H_2O\rightarrow SO_4^{2-}+2H^+

(3) MnO_2+4H^++2e^-\rightarrow Mn^{2+}+2H_2O

The reaction 1, 2 and 3 shows the reduction reaction. So, it requires a reducing agent.

(4) 2F^-\rightarrow F_2+2e^-

The reaction 4 shows the oxidation reaction. Therefore, it requires an oxidizing agent.

Therefore, the correct option is, 2F^-\rightarrow F_2+2e^-

Water has a high specific heat because: Select one: a. it is a poor insulator b. hydrogen bonds must be broken to raise its temp
Crank
<h2>The required "option is b) hydrogen bonds must be broken to raise its temperature.</h2>

Explanation:

  • Water has high specific heat due to hydrogen bonds present in it.
  • The Ionisation of water does not affect the specific heat of the water.
  • On decreasing the temperature, there is the formation of bonds hence option (d) is wrong.
  • On increasing the temperature, there is the breaking of bonds hence option (b) is correct.
