Answer;

Hydrochloric acid

Explanation;

Hydrochlorc acid plays a vital role in leather processing and electroplating.
Hydrochloric acid has a number of important applications in real life these includes; fertilizers, and dyes, textile, in electroplating, rubber and in the photographic industries.
Electroplating is the process that involves coating a metal using another metal for the purpose of improving their appearance or preventing rusting.
Hydrochloric acids is used in the processing of leather or the tanning of leather process, in which tanneries use the acid to stop the growth of bacteria and also maintain proper pH.

Answer:

hydrochloric acid is the correct answer.

Explanation:

hydrochloric acid compound plays an important role in leather processing and electroplating.

Electroplating is a process in which metal is coated with a thin layer of another metal.hydrochoric acid is used in electroplating as it enables oxidation of copper and removes the copper ions from the solution.

Hydrochloric acid is used in leather processing because tanneries use hydrochloric acid to stop the growth of bacteria and to control the pH level of the leather.

____ [38]

Answer:

Oxidation half-reaction:

Fe²⁺(aq) → Fe³⁺(aq) + 1e⁻

Reduction half-reaction:

Ce⁴⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ → Ce³⁺(aq)

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

Fe²⁺(aq) + Ce⁴⁺(aq) → Fe³⁺(aq) + Ce³⁺(aq)

The oxidation half-reaction is:

Fe²⁺(aq) → Fe³⁺(aq) + 1e⁻

It is an oxidation because the oxidation state of Fe increases from 2+ to 3+.

The reduction half-reaction is:

Ce⁴⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ → Ce³⁺(aq)

It is a reduction because the oxidation state of Ce decreases from 4+ to 3+.

Answer:

Solid: calcium and potassium

Liquid: mercury and bromine

Gaseous: oxygen and fluorine

Explanation:

Matter exists in three different states namely: solid, gaseous and liquid. Elements that are found in nature are classified as matter. Since, these elements are grouped as matter, they can either be found as either solids, liquids or gases at normal temperature and pressure.

At normal temperature (20°C or 293K) and pressure (1 atm), the following elements are found to exists in the respective state of matter:

Solid: Calcium (Ca) and potassium (K)

Liquid: Mercury (Hg) and bromine (Br)

Gaseous: Oxygen (O) and fluorine (F)
