A mixture of sand and table salt can be separated by filtration because the substances in the mixture differ in solubility. Because sand and table salt have a different ability to dissolve they can easily be separated. What can be done to separate this mixture is to add water to it and stir it thoroughly. The salt will easily dissolve in water while the sand will stay insoluble. The filtration of this mixture will result in salt being drained off with water while only the sand will remain.
Is this a question?
Cause if it is I dont understand it.
Answer: Reducing agent in the given reaction is
.
Explanation:
A reducing agent is defined as an element which tends to lose electrons to other element leading to an increase in its oxidation number.
In the given reaction, oxidation state of sulfur in
is +2 and
has 0 oxidation state.
In
oxidation state of S is 2.5 and in
oxidation state of I is -1.
Since, an increase in oxidation state of S is occurring from +2 to +2.5. Hence, it is acting as a reducing agent.
Thus, we can conclude that reducing agent in the given reaction is
.
I'm not sure, but maybe burning point...
