Answer : The correct option is a) Loses electrons and loses potential energy.

Explanation :

Reducing agent : In a redox reaction, it is oxidized by the loss of electrons and by the loses of potential energy. It is also called as electron donor.

Reducing agent reduces others by loss of electron and its oxidation state increases.

For example : Sodium is a reducing agent and itself oxidized as follows,

Na\rightarrow Na^++e^-

Therefore, the molecule that function as a reducing agent in a redox reaction is loses electrons and loses potential energy.

How many moles of 0.225 M CaOH2 are present in 0.350 L of solution?
weeeeeb [17]

Answer : The number of moles of solute Ca(OH)_2 is, 0.0788 moles.

Explanation : Given,

Molarity = 0.225 M

Volume of solution = 0.350 L

Formula used:

\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Moles of }Ca(OH)_2}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

0.225M=\frac{\text{Moles of }Ca(OH)_2}{0.350L}

\text{Moles of }Ca(OH)_2=0.0788mol

Therefore, the number of moles of solute Ca(OH)_2 is, 0.0788 moles.

Answer:

C and D

Explanation:

Claims based on science are claims that can be backed up by data and evidence. In the sentence "Data from ice cores show that global temperatures are rising dramatically.", the part "Data from" inclines that there is factually proof backing up the claim. Part of the sentence "Satellite imagery shows.." inclines that there is also proof/evidence backing this claim. The other two sentences are <em>opinions</em> based on science. Instead, they should give some sort of data/evidence that would support that claim.

how does photosynthesis and respiration in plants influence the amount of co2 in the atmosphere during a year?
Oliga [24]

Answer:

An increase in the amount of CO2 well increase the rate of photosynthesis, Carbon dioxide concentration will directly affect the rate of photosynthesis as it is used in the photosynthesis reaction.Increased amount of CO2 will increase the rate of photosynthesis to a certain limit, after which a further increase in its amount will no longer increase the rate any further.

Hope this helps.

Cheers! :)
