Electrolysis of water<span> is the </span><span>decomposition reaction, because from one molecule (water) two molecules (hydrogen and oxygen) are produced. Water is separeted into two molecules:

Answer: Dichotomous
Using a Dichotomous Key to Identify Organisms
A dichotomous key is a tool used by biologists to identify organisms in a group through a process of answering yes or no questions about the organism. Dichotomous means 'divided into two parts', as each question about an organism has two choices.
In the reaction 2co ( g) + o2( g) → 2co2( g), the ratio of moles of oxygen used to moles of co2produced is 1:2.
Answer:
Mn is the oxidizing agent.
N is the reducing agent.
Explanation:
Hello!
In this case, according to the undergoing chemical reaction, it is seen that the manganese in KMnO4 has an oxidation state of 7+, in MnSO4 of 2+ and nitrogen in KNO2 is 3+ and in KNO3 is 5+; thus we have the following half-reactions:
Thus, since manganese is undergoing a decrease in the oxidation state, we infer it is the oxidizing agent whereas nitrogen, undergoing an increase in the oxidation state is the reducing agent.

Gold is actually very soft. If rings were made of pure gold they would bend and become disfigured. Other elements are added to give the ring its stability.
