<u>Answer:</u> Copper is getting oxidized and is a reducing agent. Silver is getting reduced and is oxidizing agent.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. Here, oxidation state of the atom increases.

X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which an atom gains electrons. Here, the oxidation state of the atom decreases.

X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X

Oxidizing agents are defined as the agents which oxidize other substance and itself gets reduced. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

Reducing agents are defined as the agents which reduces the other substance and itself gets oxidized. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

For the given chemical reaction:

Cu(s)+2AgNO_3(aq.)\rightarrow 2Ag(s)+Cu(NO_3)_2(aq.)

The half reactions for the above reaction are:

<u>Oxidation half reaction:</u>  Cu(s)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-

<u>Reduction half reaction:</u>  2Ag^+(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow 2Ag(s)

From the above reactions, copper is loosing its electrons. Thus, it is getting oxidized and is considered as a reducing agent.

Silver is gaining electrons and thus is getting reduced and is considered as an oxidizing agent.

Which causes an air conditioner to turn on
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

C.)house temperature increases cause the bimetallic coil to expand

Explanation:

A bimetallic strip is used in an air conditioner as a regulator. It is made up of two metals that behaves differently to a change in temperature.

To turn on the air conditoner, the circuit must be complete. When the temperature is high in a room, bimetallic strip responds by expanding and bending to complete the circuit. This puts on the air conditioner and the house begins to cool through exchange of warm and cold air.

When the temperature is too cold, the strip contracts and straightens. This process disconnects the circuit and the air conditioning system ceases to work.

Unstable elements tend to combine with other elements to form
prisoha [69]

Answer: Compounds.

Explanation:

Compounds are formed when an unstable element combines with other elements, they do this by sharing electrons within their outmost shell. Compounds forms when there is a chemical bonding between two or more elements. Examples of compounds includes carbon dioxide (C, O) water (H and O), Sodium chloride (Na, Cl), methane, etc.

A piece of high-density Styrofoam measuring 24.0 cm by 36.0 cm by 5.0 cm floats when placed in a tub of water. When a 1.5 kg boo
zheka24 [161]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

         Width of Styrofoam = 24.0 cm

          Length of Styrofoam = 36.0 cm

          Height of Styrofoam = 5.0 cm

Therefore, volume of the Styrofoam will be calculated as follows.

                  Volume = length × width × height

                                =  (36.0 × 24.0 × 5.0) cm^{3}

                                 = 4320 cm^{3}

or,                             = 4.32 \times 10^{3} cm^{3}

As Styrofoam partially sinks at 3.0 cm and total height of Styrofoam is 5.0 cm. Hence, height of Styrofoam above the water is (5.0 - 3 cm) = 2 cm.

So, volume of water displaced is as follows.

          24.0 cm × 36.0 cm × 2.0 cm

         = 1.73 \times 10^{3} cm^{3}

Hence, mass of displaced water is as follows.

                 mass = density × volume

                           = 1.00 g/cm^{3} \times 1.73 \times 10^{3} cm^{3}

                           = 1.73 \times 10^{3} g

Since, book is placed on the Styrofoam. Therefore, mass of water displaced is also equal to the following.

             Mass of water displaced = mass of book + mass of Styrofoam

                  1.73 \times 10^{3} g = 1500 g + mass of Styrofoam

                   (1730 - 1500) g = mass of Styrofoam

                   mass of Styrofoam = 230 g

Therefore, calculate the density of Styrofoam as follows.

                   Density = \frac{mass}{volume}  

                                 = \frac{230}{4.32 \times 10^{3} cm^{3}}

                                 = 53.24 \times 10^{-3} g cm^{-3}

Thus, we can conclude that the density of Styrofoam is 53.24 \times 10^{-3} g cm^{-3}.

In a labratory activity the density of a sample of vanadium is determined to be 6.9g/cm^3 at room temperature. what is the perce
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

c : 13%

Explanation:

Data Give:

Experimental density of vanadium = 6.9 g/cm³

percent error = ?

Solution:

Formula used to calculate % error

  % error = [experimental value -accepted value/accepted value] x 100

The reported accepted density value for vanadium = 6.11 g/cm³

Put value in the above equation

                  % error = [ 6.9 - 6.11 / 6.11 ] x 100

                  % error = [ 0.79 / 6.11 ] x 100

                  % error = [ 0.129] x 100

                  % error = 12.9

Round to the 2 significant figure

% error = 13 %

So, option c is correct
