Chemistry

Answer:

The atom that is oxidized is Zn.

Explanation:

Reducing agents reduce other atoms or species by being oxidized themselves. Oxidation is a loss of electrons. In the equation, the Zn atom originally has an oxidation state of zero (neutral). On the right side of the equation, Zn is part of the ionic compound zinc sulfate, which is composed of the Zn(2+) cation and the SO4(2-) anion. The Zn(2+) ion is positive, which means it must have lost electrons (which have a negative charge), and was therefore oxidized from the neutral atom Zn(s).

Which of the following is a correct statement?
Maru [420]

Answer:

Reflection takes place from the polished smooth surfaces

Explanation:

A vacuum does not refer to an opaque body. An opaque body does not allow light to pass through it while a vacuum is simply empty space without air.

A smooth polished surface often acts as a mirror, it is a good reflector of light.

The moon is a non luminous body in the sky. It merely reflects the light from the sun.
