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.

Thomas poured 25 mL of 0.60 M HCl into a large bottle. He then added enough water so that the new (diluted) concentration was 0.
Molodets [167]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 150 ml

Explanation:

Data

Volume 1 = 25 ml

Concentration 1 = 0.6 M

Volume 2 = ?

Concentration 2 = 0.1 M

Formula

            Volume 1 x Concentration 1 = Volume 2 x Concentration 2

Solve for Volume 2

             Volume 2 = (Volume 1 x Concentration 1)/Concentration 2

Substitution

             Volume 2 = (25 x 0.6) / 0.1

Simplification

            Volume 2 = 15 / 0.1

Result

            Volume 2 = 150 ml

How does an atom become a positively charged ion
sladkih [1.3K]
When, it donates electons.

as for example take
NaCl ( sodium chloride)

it's an ionic compund,
that means it is formed by donating or gaining electrons

Na is writen first than, it must be electropositive i.e it has donated electons which made it positive and the clorine gains electron so it's electronegative.

Na is positive because
as we know it's atomic number is 11 that means it has 11 protons and 11 electrons
now, when it donate electon it has, greater number of protons whose change is +ve so the atom becomes overall positively charged ion or cation.

and something same happens in clorine and because it gains one electron and the number of electrons increase in it by 1 whise charge is -ve so, the atom becomes negatively charged ion or anion which has a -1 charge.
