Answer:
A. biology
Explanation:
biology is the human body
Many homeowners treat their lawns with CaCO3(s) to reduce
the acidity of the soil. The net ionic equation for the reaction of CaCO3(s)
with a strong acid, HCl (I chose HCl because it is a strong acid) is CaCO3(s) +2
HCl(aq) → CaCl2(s) + H2O(aq) + CO2(g).
Answer: Li is the reducing agentg and O is the oxidizing agent.
Explanation:
1) The oxidizing agent is the one that is reduced and the reducing agent is the one that is oxidized.
2) The given reaction is:
4Li(s) + O₂ (g) → 2 Li₂O(s)
3) Determine the oxidation states of each atom:
Li(s): oxidation state = 0 (since it is alone)
O₂ (g): oxidation state = 0 (since it is alone)
Li in Li₂O (s) +1
O in Li₂O -2
That because 2× (+1) - 2 = 0.
4) Determine the changes:
Li went from 0 to + 1, therefore it got oxidized and it is the reducing agent.
O went from 0 to - 2, therefore it got reduced and it is the oxidizing agent.
