Hey there!:

Copper plating on Zinc will occur via this simple reaction:

Cu²⁺   +   2 e⁻   ⇌   Cu

When a species gains electron, it is reduced. Its oxidation state is decreased. For example, in the above reaction Cu2+ gained 2 electron to get reduced to Cu. Its oxidation state changed from +2 to 0. Hence it is a reduction reaction.

So, the correct answer is  :

The copper II ions  gain two electrons and are reduced.

Answer B

Hope this helps!

Which is most likely to be part of an ionic bond?
mash [69]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. An atom <span>with no valence electrons is most likely to part of of an ionic bond. This is because valence electrons are the particles that bonds to other atoms and in an ionic bond there is a complete transfer of electrons.</span>

In comparing two isotopes of the same element, the atomic number, stays the same.

Allow me to explain: The protons in an isotope ALWAYS stays the same, but the neutrons change. But, what's the atomic number made up of? 

Protons, which means it won't change. 

However, the atomic mass is made up of neutrons + protons, so only the atomic mass would change - not the atomic number.

According the inverse square law, doubling the distance from the source of the sound, a speaker, for example, will drop the soun
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Yes, I would be able to hear the speaker clearly because the supposedly dropping off of sound as the distance gets farther is counteracted by "reverberations" inside the auditorium.

Explanation:

According to the "Inverse Square Law," if the distance from the sound source is doubled, the intensity of the sound will diminish by 6 decibels. This is true if the situation is in a <em>"free field,"</em> which means the sound has no reflection.

However, this is not the case in an "auditorium." An auditorium causes the <u>"reverberation" of sound. </u>This prolongs the resonance of the sound.  So, this means that even if the sound drops off by a factor of 100 (20 decibels), due to reverberations, the height of the ceiling, the kind of wall and materials used in making the seats also affect the intensity of the sound waves. This is the reason why auditoriums are used as venues for <em>concerts, presentations and the like</em> where a <u>large group of people serve as the audienc</u>e.
