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.

Slicing an average loaf of bread gives 13 medium thickness slices. Each slice of bread is to be coated with 0.0500 oz of mayonna
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

36 loaves of bread and 18.48 ounces of mayonnaise are needed to make all of the sandwiches.

Explanation:

Number of slices of ham = 231

Given that each sandwich has 1 slice of ham.

Then 231 slices of ham will be in :

1\times 231 =231 sandwiches

A single sandwich is made up of 2 bread slices , Then bread slices in 231 sandwiches will be :

231\times 2=462

Each bread slice is applied with 0.0500 ounce of mayonnaise.

Then 462 bread slices will have :

462\times 0.0500 ounces=18.48 Oz

1 bread loaf = 13 bread slices

Then breads loves in 462  bread slices :

\frac{462}{13}=35.54\approx 36

36 loaves of bread and 18.48 ounces of mayonnaise are needed to make all of the sandwiches.

The pressure of an enclosed gas depends on:
Elden [556K]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the last option. The pressure of an enclosed gas depends on the number of molecules in a unit volume and their average kinetic energy, its chemical composition, the altitude about sea level and the number of atoms per molecule. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.
