Answer: only Br2.

Justification.

In  a chemical reaction the element that gains electrons experiments a reduction in its oxidation state, that is why it is said that it is reduced.

So, to know what element is being reduced you need to calculate the oxidation states of the elements involved.

Here I indicate the oxidation states of each element if the reaction putting them inside parenthesis:

Reactants side          Products side

K (0)                           K (1+)
    
Br (0)                          Br(1-)

So, K lost one electron, increasing its oxidation statefrom  0 to 1+, meaning that it is being oxidized.

And, each atom of Br gained one electron, reducing its oxidation state from 0 to 1-, meaning it is being reduced.

Therefore, the answer is that Br2 is the substance being reduced.

The most common source of copper (Cu) is the mineral chalcopyrite (CuFeS2). How many kilograms of chalcopyrite must be mined to
kicyunya [14]
To find out the answer, we must know the mass percentage of Cu in the mineral chalcopyrite.

Mass percentage of Cu = molar mass of Cu/molar mass of chalcopyrite = 64/(64+56+32*2) = 34.8%.

So to obtain 210 g pure Cu, the amount of mineral need = mass of Cu/mass percentage of Cu = 210 g/34.8% = 603 g = 0.603 kg.

An aqueous solution of acetic acid is found to have the following equilibrium concentrations at 25 C:
yarga [219]

Answer: 1.79 x 10^-5

Explanation: The equilibrium constant of a reaction can be calculated from the quotient of the concentrations of the products over the concentrations of the reactants, with each termed raised to their respective stoichometric coefficients.

For acetic acid, this equilibrium expression is:

Kc=\frac{[H+] [CH3COO-]}{[CH3COOH]}

Replacing the equilibrium concentrations given by the exercise into the expression above, the equilibrium constant, Kc will be obtained and it is found to be equal to 1.79 x 10^-5.

List several other words that are formed using the prefix mon or mono what do these words have in common
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

1) Monochrome

2) Monocot

3) Monosaccharide

4) Monounsaturated

5) Monoxide

Explanation:

The prefix mono or mon is of Greek origin and it means single, lone or one.

From the meaning of the words we can tell that they have something in common:

1) Monochrome: This refers to an artwork, a painting or drawing that has just one color.

2) Monocot: This is a type of flowering plant that has a single embryo and a single cotyledon.

3) Monosaccharide: This is a type of simple sugar that contains one sugar unit that cannot be split.

4) Monounsaturated: This refers to a molecule that contains one double or triple bond.

5) Monoxide: This refers to a form of oxide that contains only one oxygen atom.

From the definitions above, all the words mean having only one or a single item.

That is what they have in common.

What evidence in Side View lets you know that upwelling is happening in these locations?
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Image result for What evidence in Side View lets you know that upwelling is happening in these locations?

Winds blowing across the ocean surface often push water away from an area. When this occurs, water rises up from beneath the surface to replace the diverging surface water. This process is known as upwelling.
