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 40.27 g sample of a substance is initially at 24.8 °c. after absorbing 2099 j of heat, the temperature of the substance is 148
Darina [25.2K]
Q = mCΔT
Q is heat in joules, m is mass, C is specific heat, and delta T is change in temp

2099 J = (40.27g)(C)(148.5 - 24.8) = .421 J / gram K

Explain why arginine is a basic amino acid
Mumz [18]

Answer:

There are three amino acids that have basic side chains at neutral pH. These are arginine (Arg), lysine (Lys), and histidine (His). Their side chains contain nitrogen and resemble ammonia, which is a base. Their pKa's are high enough that they tend to bind protons, gaining a positive charge in the process.

Based on the passage , where in the United States would a physician encounter the most cases of SAD ?
Montano1993 [528]

Answer/Explanation:

We cannot see the passage, but SAD stands for Seasonal Affective Disorder. SAD is a type of depressive disorder related to lack of light, and therefore changes with the seasons. It is a severe version of the "winter blues"

In the winter months, where the days are shorter, individuals who suffer from SAD suffer from mood changes. They get depressed, have a reduction in energy levels, and withdraw socially. They may also gain weight. This causes problems with relationships, work, and school.

Since SAD is linked to light, SAD is likely more common in the Northern areas of the United States, where winter days are shorter.
