Answer:

Explanation:

The oxidation reduction reactions are called redox reaction. These reactions are take place by gaining or losing the electrons and oxidation state of elements are changed.

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

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.

Na₂CO₃ + H₃PO₄ → Na₂HPO₄ + CO₂ + H₂O

The oxidation state of carbon on reactant side is +4. while on product side is also +4 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.

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.

Oxidizing agents:

Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.

Reducing agents:

Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized

1. 1/16 x 1 000 000= 62500
2. Each half life is 5750 years long
3. The end of a half life is found by dividing the beginning of the half life by 2.
4. The number 62500 is between the 7th and the 8th half lives (refer to the number of 14C atoms on my table)
5. The 7th half life is 40250 years, and the 8th half life is 46000 years.
6. Therefore, your estimate would be a number roughly in the middle of 40250 and 46000 (for example: 43000)
Hope this helps :)

If you were baking a desert and recipe called for 250 g of sugar, how could you use the triple beam balance to obtain this amoun

Well I don’t know how you can “bake” a desert but if you can, try to not mix up the sugar and sand
