1) The metal which reduces the other compound is the one higher in the reactivity. So in this case it is
.
2) The substance which brings about reduction while itself getting oxidised (that is losing electrons) is called a reducing agent. Here, $\mathrm{Zn}$ is the reducing agent and reduces Cobalt Oxide to Cobalt while itself getting oxidised to Zinc oxide.
<span>The constant bombardment of gas molecules against the inside walls of a container produces Pressure.
Explanation:
Pressure is defined as Force per unit Area.
P = F / A
In case of gases, the gas molecules have high Kinetic Energy and they move with high velocity. This cause them to strike against the inside wall of the container. Pressure is directly proportional to temperature. Increase in temperature cause to increase the Kinetic Energy of molecules, Hence, the rate of collisions increases resulting in increasing the pressure.</span>
