Of the three sources listed, geothermal energy
is the least dependent on the weather.
(Once it's installed and running, that is.)
D.
both are stated to be in aqueous solutions by the (aq)
the oxidation states of the elements before and after the reaction is;
Pb oxidation state changes from 0 to +2
SO₄²⁻ ion there's no change in the oxidation state during the reaction
Au oxidation state changes from +3 to 0
reduction reactions are when there's a decrease in the oxidation state of the species
oxidation reactions are when theres an increase in the oxidation state of the species
the element where there's a decrease in oxidation state is Au.
Therefore Au gets reduced.
answer is B) Au
