Answer:

D. Chlorine is reduced in reaction 1 and iron is oxidized in reaction 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to determine if a substance has been oxidized or reduced is to calculate its <em>oxidation number</em>.

The important rules for oxidation numbers are:

  1. The oxidation number of an element is zero.
  2. The oxidation number of H is usually +1.
  3. The oxidation number of Cl is usually -1.
  4. The sum of all the oxidation numbers in a compound is zero.

Also,

  • An increase in oxidation number is oxidation.
  • A decrease in oxidation number is reduction.

1. \stackrel{\hbox{+1}}{\hbox{H}_{2}}\stackrel{\hbox{-2}}{\hbox{S}} + \stackrel{\hbox{0}}{\hbox{Cl}}_{2}  \longrightarrow\stackrel{\hbox{+1}}{\hbox{ 2H}}\stackrel{\hbox{-1}}{\hbox{Cl}} +\stackrel{\hbox{0}}{\hbox{S}}

2. \stackrel{\hbox{0}}{\hbox{Fe}} + \stackrel{\hbox{0}}{\hbox{S}} \longrightarrow \stackrel{\hbox{+2}}{\hbox{ Fe}}\stackrel{\hbox{-2}}{\hbox{S}}

Thus, the oxidation number of S in H₂S and FeS is +2.

In Reaction 1, the oxidation number of Cl decreases from 0 to -1. The Cl is reduced.

In Reaction 2, the oxidation number of Fe changes from 0 to +2. The Fe is oxidized.

Two of the seven different pea traits examined by Mendel involved genes that we now know are linked. Knowing this, can you expla
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:: Mendel studied how traits are been passed from parents to offspring using seven features in peas, including height, flower color, seed color, and seed shape. To do this he divided the pea plant into short height and tall height. From this experiment he proposed a principle called independent assortment, which describes how different genes independently separate from one another when reproductive cells develop. Though this experiment was studied using gene formation in prokaryotic cell.

This principle of independent assortment is also seen in eukaryotic cells during meiosis.

Mendel proposed this principle because during cell formation of the offspring, each individual Gene from the parents will first separate to stand on its own before cross linking up together, which made the offspring look different from the parents. The principle of independent assortment does not criticize gene linkage, it only highlight how gene in the garments of the parents forms offspring, by sperating to assort independently.
