Answer:
Reduction
Explanation:
Reduction:
Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.
Mn⁺⁷ +3e⁻ → Mn⁴⁺
Mn gets three electrons , its oxidation state reduced from +7 to +4 so Mn gets reduced.
Examples:
Consider the following reactions.
4KI + 2CuCl₂ → 2CuI + I₂ + 4KCl
the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced.
CO + H₂O → CO₂ + H₂
the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant side and on product side it becomes +4 so carbon get oxidized.
H₂S + 2NaOH → Na₂S + 2H₂O
The oxidation sate of sulfur is -2 on reactant side and in product side it is also -2 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.
Adding a catalyst as this would speed up the reaction and the rest would slow it down
I think the awnser to your question is C
Matter- Anything that occupies space and has mass is called matter.That is they have both mass and volume.
Apple is an example of matter because it occupies space and has mass and volume.
Pure silicon is a poor conductor at room temperature because it has 4 valence electrons
