In a chemical laboratory, a mortar and pestle function is to decrease surface area of a solute. The correct answer is B.
Answer:
use coefficients and subscripts to determine how many atoms are in a compound. If there is no subscript or coefficient, assume it is 1. If there is a coefficient, multiply it with the subscripts. For counting cations and anions, determine first which is the anion and cation (anion = nonmetal, cation = metal), then count the number of that ion.
Example:
NaCl
one atom of Na, one atom of Cl. Since Na is a metal, it is a cation. Cl is a nonmetal, so it is an anion.
2CaCl2
2 atoms of Ca, 4 atoms of Cl. There are 2 cations, since Na is a metal, and 4 anions since Cl is a nonmetal
The third option because the elements mentioned in that selection are in the same group, they must have similar properties.
Reaction:

Magnesium is a stronger reducing agent than copper and is thus able to reduce copper(II) oxide.
Products of the reaction: Magnesium oxide and metallic copper.
