Which nonmetal has the greatest potential to be oxidized

Chemistry
1 answer:
Tasya [4]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Hydrogen

Explanation:

A reducing agent is a substance which gives up its electrons to become oxidized. Generally, metals are oxidized (reducing agents) while non-metals are reduced (oxidizing agents).

However, hydrogen which is a non-metal is usually oxidized in the presence of stronger oxidizing non-metals such as fluorine and oxygen.

Hydrogen thus, acts as a reducing agent by giving up its electrons to become oxidized. Even though among all non-metals, Hydrogen has the greatest potential to be oxidized, it is a poor reducing agent compared to reactive metals.

What happens when gasoline is used to power a vehicle?
Romashka [77]
The answer should be A. Because the energy in gasoline is called chemical. When burned it is heat, Then to power a vehicle, it is mechanical energy. But I don't know whether the question wants to mean that the energy in the gasoline will not convert totally to the heat, so it will lose. But if think like this, when heat energy transform to mechanical, it will lose again. So I think the answer is A.
