Answer:

The element that has been oxidized is the N

Explanation:

Zn²⁺(aq) + NH₄⁺(aq) → Zn(s) + NO₃⁻(aq)

See all the oxidation states:

Zn²⁺ → acts with +2

In ammonia, H acts with +1 and N with -3

Zn(s), acts with 0. In all the elements in ground state, the oxidation state is 0.

Zn changed from 2+ to 0. The oxidation number, has decreased.

This element has been reduced.

NO₃⁻ (aq) it's a ion, from nitric acid.

N acts with +5

O acts with -2

The global charge is -1

The N, has increased the oxidation state, so this element is the one oxidized.

If the length, width, and height of a box are 10.00 cm, 7.25 cm and 3.00 cm, respectively, what is the volume of the box in unit

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

For a: The volume of the box is 217.5 mL

For b: The volume of the box is 0.2175 L

Explanation:

The box is a type of cuboid.

To calculate the volume of cuboid, we use the equation:

$V=lbh$

where,

V = volume of cuboid

l = length of cuboid = 10.00 cm

b = breadth of cuboid = 7.25 cm

h = height of cuboid = 3.00 cm

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$V=10.00\times 7.25\times 3.00=217.5cm^3$

For a:

To convert the volume of cuboid into milliliters, we use the conversion factor:

$1mL=1cm^3$

So,

$\Rightarrow 217.5cm^3\times (\frac{1mL}{1cm^3})\\\\\Rightarrow 217.5mL$

Hence, the volume of the box is 217.5 mL

For b:

To convert the volume of cuboid into liters, we use the conversion factor:

$1L=1000cm^3$

So,

$\Rightarrow 217.5cm^3\times (\frac{1L}{1000cm^3})\\\\\Rightarrow 0.2175L$

Hence, the volume of the box is 0.2175 L
