To find for the oxidizing agent, first let us write the half reactions of this complete chemical reaction:

Ca = Ca2+ + 2e- <span>
2 H+ + 2e- = H2</span>

 

The oxidizing agent would be the substance of the element that is reduced. We know that an element is reduced when an electron is added to it. In this case, the element being reduced is H. Therefore the oxidizing agent is HNO3.

 

Answer:

<span>HNO3</span>

Answer:

Nitric acid is an oxidizing agent in the given reaction.

Explanation:

Oxidizing agents : Agents which oxidize other substance and itself gets reduced. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

Reducing agents : Agents which reduces the other substance and itself gets oxidized. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

In the given reaction;

Ca(s)+2HNO_3(aq)\rightarrow Ca(NO_3)_2(aq)+H_2(g)

Oxidizing agent in the above reaction is a nitric acid which oxidizes calcium metal into calcium ionCa^{2+}

Ca\rightarrow Ca^{2+}+2e^-

Here calcium atom is undergoing oxidation reaction which is the reaction in which an atom looses its electrons and its oxidation state increases.

Lakesha gave three tenths of her cookies to Bailey and five tenths of her cookies to Helen. What fraction of her cookies did Lak
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

a . eight tenths of her cookies

Explanation:

Let the total number of Lakesha's cookies be represented by x.

So that;

She gave three tenths to Bailey = \frac{3}{10} of x

                                                     = \frac{3x}{10}

She gave five tenths to Helen = \frac{5}{10} of x

                                                  = \frac{5x}{10}

Fraction of Lakesha's cookies given away = \frac{3x}{10} + \frac{5x}{10}

                                                      = \frac{3x+ 5x}{10}

                                                      = \frac{8x}{10}

Thus, the fraction of cookies given away by Lakesha is \frac{8}{10}.

Nikolas, the fire extinguisher, and the skateboard have a combined mass of 50 kg. What force would the fire extinguisher have to
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

Force used by fire extinguisher = 60 N

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of skateboard with fire extinguisher = 50 kg

Acceleration of fire extinguisher = 1.2 m/s²

Find:

Force used by fire extinguisher = ?

Computation:

⇒ Force = Mass × Acceleration

⇒ Force used by fire extinguisher = Mass of skateboard with fire extinguisher × Acceleration of fire extinguisher

⇒ Force used by fire extinguisher = 50 kg × 1.2 m/s²

⇒ Force used by fire extinguisher = 60 N
