The correct answer is C. Hope it helped!!!!!
Reduction <span>always results in a lowering of the oxidation number. The reaction of the system above is written as:
</span><span>Cu2+(aq) + Fe(s) --> Cu(s) + Fe2+(aq)
</span>
From the reaction, we see that copper goes from the +2 to a neutral charge. Lowering of the oxidation number happens so this is the element that is being reduced.
Answer:
³⁸₂₀Ca.
Explanation:
³⁸₁₉K –> __ + ⁰₋₁β
Let ʸₓA represent the unknown.
Thus the equation above can be written as:
³⁸₁₉K –> ʸₓA + ⁰₋₁β
Thus, we can obtain the value of y an x as follow:
38 = y + 0
y = 38
19 = x + (–1)
19 = x – 1
Collect like terms
19 + 1 = x
x = 20
Thus,
ʸₓA => ³⁸₂₀A => ³⁸₂₀Ca
Therefore, the equation is:
³⁸₁₉K –> ³⁸₂₀Ca + ⁰₋₁β
