Answer:

loses electrons and loses potential energy.

Explanation:

A reducing agent looses electrons in an oxidation-reduction reaction. Oxidation is defined as the loss of electrons.

Reducing agents are oxidized in an oxidation-reduction reaction. When a specie looses electrons, it also looses energy. Hence the answer given above.

Consider the anion whose charge is 2- and whose electron configuration is identical to argon. what is the symbol for this anion
AleksAgata [21]

If the ion is negatively charged, anion, it means that it gains two electrons from its surroundings. The number of electrons of an argon (neutral atom) is 18. Two of the electrons in our anion is from the surrounding, so originally it only has 16 electrons.

In the periodic table, the 16th element is sulphur. The chemical symbol of sulphur is S. Thus, the anion is the negatively charged sulphur with chemical symbol of S2-.

Once upon a time, I was traveling from Kaunas Lithuania to Klaipeda to see Egle, the queen of serpents. Being the queen of serpe
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Fortunately, in this scenario, you are not out of luck. Each of these components has a unique trait that would allow you to easily separate them. For starters, you can separate all of the Iron with a strong magnet since iron has a magnetic field while sand and salt do not. Next, you can separate the salt and sand by adding water since salt will dissolve in the water leaving only the sand which is not soluble. Once the sand is removed you would simply need to distill the water/salt mixture which would separate the salt from the water. Now you have all three components separated and can get your wish.
