Answer:

Hydrogen

Explanation:

Standard reduction potential is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract electrons and get reduced. Higher the reduction potential i.e. more positive the value greater will be the tendency to get reduced. These values are measured at 298 K and 1 atm and expressed in terms of volts.

The standard reduction potential of Hydrogen is taken as zero and the values of all other elements are deduced based on hydrogen. These are tabulated in the thermochemical reduction potential table. The reduction equation for hydrogen is:

H2(g) + 2e- → 2H+ where E⁰ = 0.00 Volts

You mix two clear liquids and a colored solid forms at the bottom of the beaker. Do you think this is a chemical change? How can

UkoKoshka [18]

The answer is yes. A chemical change occurred.
Chemical change is defined as the rearrangement or alteration in the of atoms in one or more substance which result in the formation of a new substance.

In the above, you mixed two clear liquids and the result was a new substance which is a colored solid precipitate at the bottom of the beaker.
This means that changes in the atoms of the two clear liquids occurred leading to the formation of this new solid substance.

This means that chemical change has occurred.

Hope this helps :)

Answer-The correct option is option d with says all of the above.

Explanation- All three acids that are given combined together to form acid rain in which nitric and sulphuric acid are stronger acids present while carbonic acid is a weaker one.

The carbon dioxide admitted in air combines with water to form carbonic acid and gives a weak acidic nature to rainwater. Pollution in nature makes sulphur and nitrogen present in air react to form the stronger acids responsible for acid rain.

When 125 grams of FeO react with 25.0 grams of Al, how many grams of Fe can be produced? FeO + Al → Fe + Al2O3 25.9 g Fe 38.7 g

Serga [27]

Answer: The mass of iron produced will be 77.6 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)
