Answer is: the oxidation number of oxygen must decrease.

Oxidizing agent is element (substance) that gain electrons in chemical reaction.

For example, balanced chemical reaction: C + O₂ → CO₂.

Oxygen change oxidation number from 0 to oxidation number -2 (reduction) and carbon change from 0 to +4 (oxidation)

Draw the major organic substitution product(s) for (2R,3S)-2-bromo-3-methylpentane reacting with the given nucleophile. Indicate
Andrew [12]

Answer:

(2R,3S)-2-ethoxy-3-methylpentane

and

(2S,3S)-2-ethoxy-3-methylpentane

Explanation:

For this case, we will have  CH_3CH_2O^- as nucleophile. Also, this compound is also in excess. So, we will have as solvent CH_3CH_2OH a protic solvent. Therefore the Sn1 reaction would be favored.

The first step would be the carbocation formation followed by the attack of the nucleophile. In this case both isomers would be produced: R and S (see figure).

What are the parts of the water system? Label the water wheel to show the matter and forms energy that flow through the system.
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Source, processing and distribution are the components of water system.

Explanation:

There are three parts of water system i. e. the source, the processing and distribution. Water is extracted from a source such as underground water, lake or river etc. After extraction this water is transported to the processing unit where it can be purified and after purification it is distributed to all places where it is needed. Potential energy is a form of energy that flows through this water system because the water is extracted from a depth and we know that depth and height refers to potential energy.

Explain what makes insulative materials work most effectively.
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Most common insulation materials work by slowing conductive heat flow and--to a lesser extent--convective heat flow. Radiant barriers and reflective insulation systems work by reducing radiant heat gain. To be effective, the reflective surface must face an air space.

Explanation:

To be effective, the reflective surface must face an air space.
