Answer:
1) SO₄
²⁻ : (+6)
H₂S : (-2)
Explanation:
a) <u>Sulfate reducers</u> are widespread in muds and other sediments, water-logged soils, etc., environments that contain SO₄ ²⁻ and become anoxic as a result of microbial decomposition.
Sulfate (SO₄ ²⁻), the most oxidized form of sulfur (+6), <u>is reduced</u> by these
sulfate-reducing bacteria. The end product of sulfate reduction is hydrogen sulfide, H₂S, (oxidation number -2) an important natural product that participates in many biogeochemical processes. The H₂S they generate is responsible for the pungent smell (like that of rotten eggs) often encountered near coastal ecosystems. When sulfate-reducing bacteria grow, the H₂S formed from SO₄ ²⁻ reduction combines with the ferrous iron to form black, insoluble ferrous sulfide, which is not toxic. This is important for the conservation of the environment.
b) The net ionic equation under acidic conditions is:
4 H₂ + SO₄²⁻ + H⁺ → HS⁻ + 4 H₂O
Global reaction: SO₄²⁻ + 2H⁺ → H₂S + O₂

Answer:
the reason why Mars is red is because of its regolith, or surface material, contains lots of iron oxide — the same compound that gives blood and rust their hue
The experimental control is the standard used as a comparison for the experimental groups.
For example, you may be trying to find out how different types of disinfectants affect bacterial growth. The control group would receive <em>no</em> disinfectant whereas the experimental groups would be the ones on which the disinfectants were tested.
Hope this makes sense!
