Answer:

a reducing agent .

Explanation:

In the extraction of iron, carbon monoxide acts as the main reducing agent.

Carbon monoxide is a neutral, colorless and odorless gas. One of the property of carbon monoxide is that it is a powerful reducing agent as it combines with oxygen readily to form CO₂ and hence its use in metallurgy.

  • A reducing agent is one that undergoes oxidation in a chemical process.
  • The carbon monoxide is produced in the furnace at high temperature.
  • Carbon dioxide combines with carbon to produce carbon monoxide.

So, carbon monoxide acts as the main reducing agent.

What happens to Kinetic?<br> energy during gas particles collision
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Gas particles are in a constant state of the  random motion and move in straight lines until they collide with another body. The collisions exhibited by gas particles are completely elastic; when the two molecules collide, total kinetic energy is conserved.

Hope it helps!

Which is the best reason for choosing the beaker for heating the solution? The beaker is the only container that can withstand h
lyudmila [28]

Answer: The beaker will not tip over when placed on the hot plate


Justification:


Since beakers have flat surface bottoms (usually and this is the condition to use them for this particular application) they can be placed safely on the hot plate without the risk that the they tip over.


Beakers are wide mouth cylindrical vessels used in laboratories to store, mix and heat liquids. Most are made of glass, in which case the glass is resistant to the flame and does not break when exposed to high temperatures or when is heated by direct contact on a hot plate.


So, their safe shape (flat bottom) that makes them stable, along with their ability to withstand high temperatures, make them suitable to heat solutions in laboratories.

Which of the following would not be a clear indication of a chemical change
Alekssandra [29.7K]

I believe the answer is "After adding two substances together a new order is detected" because nearly all of the other answers suggest a chemical change has taken place. The reason I say "almost" is because answer two and four results in bubbles forming so the answer cannot be both. The only one to not clearly show a chemical change has occurred is the last answer.
