Answer is: D. is oxidized.

Reducing agent is an element  or compound that loses an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction and they have been oxidized.

For example, chemical equation: Ca + H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + H₂.

Oxidation reaction: Ca⁰ → Ca⁺² + 2e⁻ /×3.

3Ca⁰ → 3Ca⁺² + 6e⁻

Reduction reaction: 6e⁻ + 2H₃⁺¹ → 3H₂⁰.

Balanced chemical equation: 3Ca + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 3H₂.

Calcium is stronger reducing agent than hydrogen, gives electrons easier.

Calcium is oxidized, it changes oxidation number from 0 to +2.

Write the ions present in solution of k2co3. express your answers as chemical formulas separated by a comma. identify all of the
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer : The ions present in the solution of K_2CO_3 are K^+ and CO^{2-}_3 in aqueous state.

Explanation :

When K_2CO_3 is in aqueous solution then they dissociates into their ions.

The reaction in aqueous medium is,

K_2CO_3(aq)\rightarrow 2K^+(aq)+CO^{2-}_3(aq)

The charge on potassium ion is +1 and on carbonate ion is -2. To neutralize the charge on carbonate ion, two potassium ion must be used.

Therefore, the ions present in solution of K_2CO_3 are K^+ and [tex]CO^{2-}_3[tex] in aqueous state.

A vessel of volume 100 cm3 contains 0.25 mol o2 and 0.034 mol co2 at 10.0c. Calculate the partial pressure of each component and
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer: The partial pressure of oxygen is 76.56 atm , partial pressure of carbon dioxide is 10.44 atm and the total pressure is 87 atm.

Explanation:

According to the ideal gas equation:'

PV=nRT

P = Pressure of the gas = ?

V= Volume of the gas = 100cm^3=0.1L 1L=1000cm^3

T= Temperature of the gas = 10°C = 373 K      

R= Gas constant = 0.0821 atmL/K mol

n=  moles of gas= 0.25 +0.034 = 0.284 moles

P=\frac{nRT}{V}=\frac{0.284\times 0.0821\times 373}{0.1}=87atm

x_{O_2} = mole fraction of oxygen=\frac{\text {moles of }O_2}{\text {moles of }O_2+\text{moles of }CO_2}=\frac{0.25}{0.25+0.034}=0.88,  

x_{CO_2} =mole fraction of carbon dioxide=\frac{\text {moles of }CO_2}{\text {moles of }O_2+\text{moles of }CO_2}=\frac{0.034}{0.25+0.034}=0.12

partial pressure of oxygen = p_{O_2}=x_{O_2}\times P=0.88\times 87=76.56atm

partial pressure of carbon dioxide= p_{CO_2}=x_{CO_2}\times P=0.12\times 87=10.44atmatm

The partial pressure of oxygen is 76.56 atm , partial pressure of carbon dioxide is 10.44 atm and the total pressure is 87 atm.
