Answer:
Individual solute particles are broken apart from the solid by the;
c. Solvent
Explanation:
A solution is the homogeneous mixture that is made up of two or more substances formed by dissolving a substance which can be a solid, liquid or gas in another substance known as the solvent which normally the larger part of the fraction of the solution than the solute and can also be a solid, liquid or a gas
In a solution the solvent particles serves to brake of and disperser parts of a solid solute to form a more or less homogeneous mixture
Therefore, the solute particles are broken by the <u>solvent</u> particles in a solution
Option (a) is correct.
A reducing agent is the one which loses electrons to other substance.
Here, Zn has oxidation number 0 in the L.H.S of the equation, but on R.H.S its oxidation number is +2 i.e. it Zn has donated two of its electrons to

.
Hence, Zn is the reducing agent here.
Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
You are missing the structure, therefore, I will do an example with one that I found on another place to try to explain.
This acid mechanism always involves carbocations, and positive charges, never negative because we are in acidic mediums.
In the first step, the lone pairs of the oxigen from the epoxide, substract one hydrogen of the reactant.
Second step, the lone pairs of the oxygen from the reactant, do a nucleophylic attack to the carbon of the epoxide. In this case, it will do it to the most substitued carbon.
Then, in the third step by acid base equilibrium, the hydrogen from the reactant that attacked, is substracted from the molecule by a molecule of water (We are in acid medium, therefore, there is traces of water) and the final structure is formed.
