In the reaction Sn(s) + 2H+(aq) → Sn2+ (aq) + H2(g)
from this reaction, we get that Sn loses from 0 to 2 electrons so it's oxidized So it is the reducing agent.
and H  gains from 0 to 1 electrons so, it's reduced so ∴ it is the oxidizing agent

Explanation:

An oxidizing agent is defined as a substance which readily accepts an electron and itself gets reduced in order to oxidize another substance in a chemical reaction.

For example, 2H^{+} + 2e^{-} \rightarrow H_{2}

Here, hydrogen is getting reduced as its oxidation state is changing from +1 to 0 and hence it acts like an oxidizing agent.  

In an oxidizing agent, a decrease in oxidation state occurs.

Whereas in Sn \rightarrow Sn^{2+} + 2e^{-}, tin is getting oxidized by gaining electrons. Therefore, it is acting as a reducing agent. An increase in oxidation state occurs for a reducing agent.

Thus, we can conclude that in the given reaction hydrogen is the oxidizing agent.

A gas sample is held at constant temperature. What happens to the pressure of the sample if the volume is doubled and the number
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

If the volume is doubled and the number of molecules is doubled, pressure is unchanged

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Temperature = constant

Volume will be doubled

Number of molecules will be doubles

Step 2:

p*V = n*R*T

⇒ gas constant and temperature are constant

Initial pressure = n*R*T / V

Initial pressure = 2*R*T/2

Initial pressure =  RT

Final pressure = 4*RT / 4

Final pressure = R*T

If the volume is doubled and the number of molecules is doubled, pressure is unchanged

Explain how our body systems work together to get oxygen into and around our body.
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:  (1) Inhales (breathes in) Oxygen - good for the body - gives it to the Circulatory System to be transported throughout the body through the blood. (1) Digestive System gets nutrients (good) from food and hands it over to the blood and Circulatory System then carries those nutrients where they need to go.
