Answer:

Uranium must be purified before it is used as a fuel source

Explanation:

The purer the uranium sample, the more the concentration of uranium in the fuel is.

Whenever uranium is extracted from nature, it contains a lot of impurities. Only a few special nuclear reactors can utilize uranium in this raw state. most of the others have to get uranium to become about 3% pure before they begin using it.

To do this, uranium has to be passed through a series of chemical reactions all with the aim of extracting the other compounds that may be present in the fuel.

Using the following reaction:
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Mn is the oxidizing agent.

N is the reducing agent.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, according to the undergoing chemical reaction, it is seen that the manganese in KMnO4 has an oxidation state of 7+, in MnSO4 of 2+ and nitrogen in KNO2 is 3+ and in KNO3 is 5+; thus we have the following half-reactions:

Mn^{7+}+5e^-\rightarrow Mn^{2+}\\\\N^{3+}\rightarrow N^{5+}+2e^-

Thus, since manganese is undergoing a decrease in the oxidation state, we infer it is the oxidizing agent whereas nitrogen, undergoing an increase in the oxidation state is the reducing agent.

Best regards!

Identify each of the following half-reactions as either an oxidation half-reaction or a reduction half-reaction.
koban [17]

Answer:

Cu+(aq)--->Cu2+(aq) + e- : oxidation

reason: there is loss of electrons.

I2(s) + 2e--->2I-(aq) : reduction

reason: There is reduction of electrons.
