Answer:

Insulator

Explanation:

An insulator does not conduct electricity. Insulators offer high resistance to the free flow of electron. Rubber is a good insulator.  

A conductor conducts electricity. Metals are good conductors of electricity. Metals have free flowing electrons that allow them to conduct electricity.  As metals conduct electricity they have a distribution of charge on its surface.

Here is a more complex redox reaction involving the dichromate ion in acidic solution: 3N O 2 − + 8H + + C r 2 O 7 2− → 3N O 3 −
Fantom [35]

Answer:

NO2- is the reducing agent.

Cr2O7_2- is the oxidizing agent.

H+ is neither

Explanation:

Reduction is the gain in electron. A chemical specie that undergoes reduction is called the oxidizing agent.

Oxidation is simply the loss in electrons. A chemical specie that undergoes oxidation is called the reducing agent.

Let us look at the species.

The first specie is the NO2-. In this specie, the oxidation number of nitrogen changed from +3 to +5 in NO3-. Thus we can see that there is more loss of electron to have caused an increase in the oxidation number positively. This shows an oxidation. Hence, NO2- is the reducing agent.

Let us look at the chromium. We can see that the oxidation number of chromium changed from +7 to +3.

Now we can see that it is a decrease and hence, it is a gain of electron and thus it is reduction. This means the first chromium specie is the oxidizing agent.

The hydrogen ion is simply placed there to balance the ions and hence it is neither the oxidizing nor the reducing agent.

An object has a mass of 5.52 g and a volume of 12 mL. What is the density of the object?
Rudik [331]

Answer:

<h2>Density = 0.46 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

Density of a substance can be found by using the formula

<h3>Density =  \frac{mass}{volume}</h3>

From the question

mass = 5.52 g

volume = 12 mL

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for the Density

That's

<h3>Density =  \frac{5.52}{12}</h3>

We have the final answer as

<h3>Density = 0.46 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

Why doesnt iron burst into flames when it rusts
Katarina [22]
Rust does not have the properties to catch onto flames. However, if you light it on fire, then it would probably catch in flames but not instantly and will not continue to burn unless you have soaked it in oil or flammable object or substance. :) Hope this helps!
