<u>Answer: </u>The reducing agent of the given chemical reaction is

<u>Explanation:</u>

Reducing agent is defined as the agent which reduces the other substance and itself gets oxidized. It undergoes oxidation reaction. Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electron. The oxidation state of the substance gets increased.

Oxidizing agent is defined as the agent which oxidizes the other substance and itself gets reduced. It undergoes reduction reaction. Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electron. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.

For the given chemical reaction:

$CrO_3+2Al\rightarrow Cr+Al_2O_3$

On reactant side:

Oxidation state of chromium = +5

Oxidation state of aluminium = 0

Oxidation state of oxygen = -2

On product side:

Oxidation state of chromium = 0

Oxidation state of aluminium = +3

Oxidation state of oxygen = -2

As, oxidation state of aluminium is getting increased from 0 to +3. Thus, it is getting oxidized and considered as reducing agent. The oxidation state of chromium is getting reduced from +5 to 0. Thus, it is getting reduced and is considered as oxidizing agent.

Hence, the correct answer is aluminium.

Mercury (Hg) poisoning is a debilitating disease that is often fatal. In the human body, mercury reacts with essential enzymes l

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

6 x 10⁵ kg Hg

Explanation:

The mass of mercury in the entire lake is found by multiplying the concentration of the mercury by the volume of the lake.

The volume of the lake is calculated in cubic feet:

V = (SA)x(depth) = (100mi²)(5280ft/mi)² x (20ft) = 5.57568 x 10¹⁰ ft³

Cubic feet are then converted to mL (1cm³=1mL)

(5.57568 x 10¹⁰ ft³) x (12in/ft)³ x (2.54cm/in)³ = 1.578856752 x 10¹⁵ mL

The mass of mercury is then found:

m = CV = (0.4μg/mL)(1g/10⁶μg)(1kg/1000g) x (1.578856752 x 10¹⁵ mL) = 6 x 10⁵ kg Hg

Substances that have a define size and shape and vibrating particles that are close together are

Mazyrski [523]

Substances that have a define size and shape and vibrating particles that are close together are called Solid.

Explanation:

There are three states of matter - solid, liquid and gas.

Lets talk about solid state in detail.

In solid particles are closely packed and so they have very less or no space to move which results in vibrating particles. This results in solid substances having a fixed shape and volume.

The particles have very little space in between them, so it is not easy to compress solid.

There is no free space for particles to slide over each other, which does not allow solids to flow.

Also, particles in solid have a regular arrangement, they are not randomly packed.

How are chemical reactions used in art

Aliun [14]

Answer:

Chemistry reactions are used in art for the following processes;

1) Analog photography

The photographic paper used in analog photography react when exposed to light such that the image on the film stains the photopaper

A series of chemicals are further used to develop the images now carried on the paper and water is used to rinse of the chemicals after the other chemical processes are complete

The photopaper, now bearing the developed photo is hung for it to be dried

2) Paint used for painting consists of several chemicals, including, minerals that serve as pigment, oils that serve as carrying agent, a thinner to prevent the paint from turning to solid

An artist therefore combines different chemicals for a given paint task

3) In the sculpting process

An original sculpture is produced by the artist with the aid of clay or plaster, from the original sculpture, on which wax coatings and chemicals are used to make a replica mold.

Copies of the sculpture can then be made by pouring material into the mold
