Chemistry

4 0

Answer:

The reducing agent donates electron to the oxidizing agent and gets oxidized itself

Explanation:

In an oxidation-reduction reaction, also known as REDOX reaction, one of the reactants is called OXIDIZING AGENT while the other is called REDUCING AGENT. The reducing agent is called so because it reduces another substance in the reaction.

It reduces another atom/ion by donating electrons to that atom, hence, getting oxidized itself in the process. For example, in the following reaction:

H2 + F2 → 2HF

Fluorine is getting oxidized from -2 to 0 by donating electrons to H and reducing it from +2 to 0.

Draw the structures of the following compounds from their names: Pentane 3-methyl-hexane 2,4-dimethylpentane
Monica [59]

I am assuming that the compounds given are Pentane, 3-methyl-hexane, and 2, 4-dimethylpentane considering that the compounds were not separated by a comma.

_______________________________________________________

Pentane is in the form of a straight chain alkane. This is important as there are many isomers of Pentane, taking different shapes. By it's name it consists of 5 carbon atoms, and the number of hydrogen atoms should be 12, as the compound is nonpolar.

3-methylhexane is an alkane present in a hexane structure at position 3. There are thus 3 molecules at 3 ends of a hexane structure - H3C, CH3, and CH3

2,4-dimethylpentane is an alkane with respect to the formula [(H3C)2CH]2CH2.

With that information, refer to the three attachments below, for each compound given. They are in order -

In the first paragraph state how climate change is the earth warming. Tell them how the warmer atmosphere has lead to the melting of snow and ice in the arctic and sever droughts in other areas of the world.

In the second paragraph talk about how large rivers are becoming smaller in regards to water volume and that the amount of water discharged into the ocean has also decreased greatly.

In the final paragraph write about how weather phenomena impact global warming. State that El Niño has led to lower floods in some place whereas other areas have experienced an increase in floods. Finally tell the reader how the lower water volumes and discharge leads to a change in the global ocean circulation.
