kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Balanced reaction: $3ZnS+2NO_{3}^{-}+8H^{+}\rightarrow 3Zn^{2+}+3S+2NO+4H_{2}O$

S is oxidized and N is reduced.

$NO_{3}^{-}$ is the oxidizing agent and ZnS is the reducing agent.

Explanation:

Reaction: $ZnS+NO_{3}^{-}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+S+NO$

$\Rightarrow$ Oxidation: $ZnS\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+S$

Balance charge: $ZnS-2e^{-}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+S$ ...............(1)

$\Rightarrow$ Reduction: $NO_{3}^{-}\rightarrow NO$

Balance H and O in acidic medium : $NO_{3}^{-}+4H^{+}\rightarrow NO+2H_{2}O$

Balance charge: $NO_{3}^{-}+4H^{+}+3e^{-}\rightarrow NO+2H_{2}O$ ...............(2)

[ $3\times$ Equation-(1)] + [ $2\times$ Equation-(2)]:

$3ZnS+2NO_{3}^{-}+8H^{+}\rightarrow 3Zn^{2+}+3S+2NO+4H_{2}O$

Oxidation number of S increases from (-2) to (0) for the conversion of ZnS to S. Therefore S is oxidized.

Oxidation number of N decreases from (+5) to (+2) for the conversion of $NO_{3}^{-}$ to NO. Therefore N is reduced.

$NO_{3}^{-}$ consumes electron from ZnS. Therefore $NO_{3}^{-}$ is the oxidizing agent and ZnS is the reducing agent.

notsponge [240]

Answer:

Fossils, the shape of continents, the mid-ocean ridge system, sea floor sediment deposits, and the magnetism of rocks.

Explanation:

Fossils, the continent's shape, the mid-ocean ridge system, sea floor sediment deposits, and the magnetism of rocks on the sea floor are the evidences that support the theory of plate tectonics in the area. Fossils provides information to us when and where plants and animals once existed. Due to diverging plates, some life became isolated, and evolved into new species. Continental ‘fit’ through coastline matching. Some division of continents look as though they should fit together, e.g. South America and Africa.
