The oxidizing agent is the one that is reduced in the reaction. In this reaction, the charge of Cu falls from +2 to zero charge (neutral atom in the right side). Hence, CuO is the oxidizing agent. The reducing agent, the one being oxidized is carbon from zero charge to +4. The answer is CuO.
Answer:
1) The correct step in the scientific method that Victor did is Construct a hypothesis.
2) Given mass and density, volume is calculated as mass divided by density.
Explanation:
1) Before doing the assay and make a graph with the results obtained, Victor should think what he wants to prove, so he should make a hypoythesis to test with the assay.
2) The formula of density is
density = mass/volume ⇒ density x volume = mass ⇒ volume = mass/density.
Answer:
Radiation effects on electrical equipment depend on the equipment and on the type of ionizing radiation to which it is exposed.
First, beta radiation has little, if any, effect on electrical equipment because this type of ionizing radiation is easily shielded. The equipment housing and the construction of the parts within the housing will protect the equipment from beta-radiation (high-energy electrons) exposure.
Gamma radiation is penetrating and can affect most electrical equipment. Simple equipment (like motors, switches, incandescent lights, wiring, and solenoids) is very radiation resistant and may never show any radiation effects, even after a very large radiation exposure. Diodes and computer chips (electronics) are much more sensitive to gamma radiation. To give you a comparison of effects, it takes a radiation dose of about 5 Sv to cause death to most people. Diodes and computer chips will show very little functional detriment up to about 50 to 100 Sv. Also, some electronics can be "hardened" (made to be not affected as much by larger gamma radiation doses) by providing shielding or by selecting radiation-resistant materials.
Some electronics do exhibit a recovery after being exposed to gamma radiation, after the radiation is stopped. But the recovery is hardly ever back to 100% functionality. Also, if the electronics are exposed to gamma radiation while unpowered, the gamma radiation effects are less.
Ionizing radiation breaks down the materials within the electrical equipment. For example, when wiring is exposed to gamma rays, no change is noticed until the wiring is flexed or bent. The wire's insulation becomes brittle and will break and may cause shorts in the equipment. The effect on diodes and computer chips is a bit more complex. The gamma rays disrupt the crystalline nature of the inside of the electronic component. Its function is degraded and then fails as more gamma radiation exposure is received by the electronic component.
Gamma rays do not affect the signals within the device or the signals received by the device. Nonionizing radiation (like radio signals, microwaves, and electromagnetic pulses) DO mess with the signals within and received by the device. I put a cheap electronic game in my microwave oven at home. It arced and sparked and was totally ruined. I didn’t waste any more of my time playing that game.
Hope this helps.

Answer:
Option A. 66 g
Explanation:
We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:
CH₄ + 2O₂ —> CO₂ + 2H₂O
Next, we shall determine the mass of CH₄ that reacted and the mass of CO₂ produced from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:
Molar mass of CH₄ = 12 + (4×1)
= 12 + 4 = 16 g/mol
Mass of CH₄ from the balanced equation = 1 × 16 = 16 g
Molar mass of CO₂ = 12 + (16×2)
= 12 + 32 = 44 g/mol
Mass of CO₂ from the balanced equation = 1 × 44 = 44 g
SUMMARY:
From the balanced equation above,
16 g of CH₄ reacted to produce 44 g of CO₂.
Finally, we shall determine the theoretical yield of CO₂. this can be obtained as follow:
From the balanced equation above,
16 g of CH₄ reacted to produce 44 g of CO₂.
Therefore, 24 g of CH₄ will react to produce = (24 × 44) /16 = 66 g of CO₂.
Thus, the theoretical yield of CO₂ 66 g
