The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

In the reaction Zn+CuSO_4\rightarrow Cu+ZnSO_4, identify the oxidizing and reducing agent.

Answer:  reducing agent. : Zn

oxidizing agent : CuSO_4

Explanation:

Oxidation reaction : When there is an increase in oxidation state number.

Reduction reaction : when there is a decrease in oxidation state number.

Zinc metal has undergone oxidation, as its oxidation state is changing from 0 to 2+. Zinc metal is getting converted into zinc ions.

Cu^{2+} ions has undergone reduction, as its oxidation state is changing from +2  to 0. Copper ions are getting converted into copper metal.

The chemical agent which itself get oxidized and reduce others is called reducing agent.   Zn is a reducing agent.

The chemical agent which itself get reduced and oxidize others is called oxidizing agent. CuSO_4 is an oxidizing agent.

Carbon (C): 1s(H)2s(I)2p(J)<br> What is H, I, and J equal?
Artemon [7]

Answer:

H =2; I = 2; J = 2  

Explanation:

Carbon is element 6 in the Periodic Table.  

Start at element 1 (H) and count from left to right until you reach element 6 (C).

You get the electron configuration

C: 1s² 2s²2p².

Thus,

H =2; I = 2; J = 2

Detergent has a ph of about 10. is detergent acidic or basic? use figure 8-3 to answer this question.
harina [27]

Answer is: detergent is basic.

pH (potential of hydrogen) is a numeric scale used to specify the acidity or basicity an aqueous solution.  

When pH is less than seven (pH<7), solution is acidic.  

When is equal seven (pH = 7), solution is neutral.  

When pH is greater than seven (pH > 7), like in this example, solution is basic.

A population of rabbits triples every 2 months If there are 2 rabbits initially, how long will it take for the population to inc
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

The rabbit population will reach 500 after 10 months.

Explanation:

According to the given data:

The initial number of rabbit's equals 2.

Number of rabbit's after 2 months =2x3= 6

Number of rabbit's after 4 months = 6x3=18

Number of rabbit's after 6 months = 18x3=54

Number of rabbit's after 8 months = 54x3=162

Thus we can see that the number of rabbit's form a Geometric series with common ratio =3 and initial term = 2

Now the general term of a geometric series with first term 'a' and common ratio 'r' is given by

T_{n+1}=ar^{n}

Thus we need to find when the term becomes 500 thus using the given data we have  

500=2\cdot 3^{n}\\\\3^{n}=250\\\\(n)log_3(3)=log_3(250)\\\\(n)=5.025\\\\

Thus the fifth term (excluding the start term) will have a rabbit count of 500 now since each term has a time difference of 2 months thus sixth term will occur after 5\times 2=10months
