2 answers:
Answer : The correct answer is Option D.
Explanation:
Ores are defined as natural occurring substance from which metals and another mineral are extracted.
Bauxite is primary ore of an aluminium metal. it doesn't have definite or specific chemical composition. This is because it contains mixture of hydrous aluminum oxide, aluminum hydroxides
, insoluble materials like hematite, quartz ,geothite ,magnetite etc.
From the given options the most appropriate statement which is correct about the bauxite is 'It does not have a definite chemical composition'.
Hence, the correct option Is (D).

Answer:
Manganese decreases from 4+ to 2+ (reduced and oxidizing agent) and nitrogen increases from 2+ to 5+ (oxidized and reducing agent).
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, according to the given redox reaction, we rewrite it as a convenient first step:
Next, we assign the oxidation numbers as follows:
Thus, we can see that both manganese and nitrogen undergo a change in their oxidation number, the former decreases from 4+ to 2+ (reduced and oxidizing agent) and the latter increases from 2+ to 5+ (oxidized and reducing agent).
