Option (a) is correct.
A reducing agent is the one which loses electrons to other substance and an oxidizing agent is one which accepts electrons. 
Here, In CrO_{3}, Cr has oxidation number 6+  in the L.H.S of the equation, but on R.H.S its oxidation number is 0 i.e. it Cr has gained electrons such that total charge is 0.
And the oxidation state of Al in the left-hand side of equation is 0 and in right-hand side, it is +6.i.e. it has donated its electrons to Cr. 

Hence, Cr is the oxidizing agent and Al is the reducing agent.

Al is oxidized and Cr is reduced. So Al is the reducing agent.

45) George is making spaghetti for dinner. He places 4.01 kg of water in a pan and brings it to a boil.
lesya692 [45]
On adding salt.....The boiling temperature increases.....

So ∆t= KB * molality
=O.52*(58/58)/4
= O.52*1/4
= 0.13
So increase is 100+.13=100.13°c

Ampicillin is a bacteriostatic antibiotic. (Instead of killing bacteria, it inhibits their growth.) Ramon plated bacteria transf
love history [14]

Answer:

A) That resistance in bacteria is produced due to inactivation of ampicillin by the beta lactamase enzyme. This enzyme is expressed by the bla gene found in the plasmid. This enzyme is secreted into the culture medium, thereby inactivating ampicillin. Thanks to this inactivation, the bacteria colonies will be able to develop. After a day of incubation, only those bacteria that took the plasmid that gives them resistance to ampicillin will grow after transformation. After prolonged incubation, two types of colonies can be observed in the culture medium. One large colony with ampicillin resistance, and another small colony, both of which are sensitive to ampicillin.

B) Large colonies are characterized by being resistant to ampicillin. When Ramón isolates the plasmid, he will have the gene that provides resistance to antibiotics. Said plasmid can be used again on those bacteria that are sensitive to ampicillin.

On the other hand, satellite colonies are sensitive to ampicillin. These types of colonies do not have the plasmid that contains the gene that gives ampicillin resistance. It is not possible to isolate any plasmids from these satellite colonies. These satellite bacteria will not be able to grow if they are transferred to a plate containing fresh ampicillin, while large colonies, which possess the plasmid that gives them resistance to ampicillin, will be able to grow on that plate.

One mole of ANY element contains the:
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

1)The molar mass of an atom is simply the mass of one mole of identical atoms. However, most of the chemical elements are found on earth not as one isotope but as a mixture of isotopes, so the atoms of one element do not all have the same mass.

2)Equally important is the fact that one mole of a substance has a mass in grams numerically equal to the formula weight of that substance. Thus, one mole of an element has a mass in grams equal to the atomic weight of that element and contains 6.02 X 1023 atoms of the element.
