Answer:
An oxidizing agent, or oxidant, gains electrons and is reduced in a chemical reaction. ... A reducing agent is oxidized, because it loses electrons in the redox reaction.

Answer:
A toilet requires a large amount of cold water to flush. So, when the toilet flushes while you're in the shower, it's stealing from your shower's cold water supply. When the pressure-balancing valve senses the drop in cold water pressure, it responds by restricting the hot water pressure.
Answer:
HCl is the formula for Hydrochloric acid
Explanation:
- Chemical formula is a formula of a compound showing the symbols of elements present in the compound.
- Chemical formula also shows the number of atoms of each element present in a compound.
- HCl is the chemical formula of hydrochloric acid. From this formula we can tell that hydrochloric acid is made up of hydrogen and chlorine elements.
- The formula also shows that HCl contains 1 hydrogen atom and 1 chlorine atom.

Because anaerobic respiration means respiration with no oxygen, and there is no oxygen underwater
Answer:
B) 7.7
Explanation:
For the reaction Ag2CO3(s) + CrO42‒(aq) → Ag2CrO4(s) + CO32‒(aq)
Kc = (CO₃²⁻) / (CrO₄²⁻)
and the Ksp given are
Ag₂CO₃ ⇒ 2 Ag⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq) Ksp₁ = (Ag⁺)²(CO₃²⁻)
Ag₂CrO₄ ⇒ 2 Ag⁺(aq)+ CrO₄²⁻(aq) Ksp₂ = (Ag⁺)²(CrO₄²⁻)
Where (...) indicate concentrations M
Notice if we divide the expressions for Ksp we get:
Ksp₁/Ksp₂ = (CO₃²⁻) / (CrO₄²⁻) = 8.5 x 10⁻¹² / 1.1 x 10⁻¹² = 7.7
which is the desired answer.
