The correct answer is option C, that is, it is reduced.

In reduction and oxidation reactions, reduction refers to the loss of an oxygen atom from a molecule or the gaining of one or more electrons. A reduction reaction is observed from the perspective of the molecule being reduced, as when one molecule gets reduced, another one gets oxidized. The complete reaction is called a redox reaction.

In the given case, iron gains electrons mean that it is reduced.

What gets oxidized in a galvanic cell made with magnesium and zinc electrodes?
ankoles [38]

Answer: Magnesium

Explanation:

Galvanic cell is a device which is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produces in a redox reaction into the electrical energy.

The standard reduction potential for magnesium and zinc are as follows:

E^0_{[Mg^{2+}/Mg]}= -2.37V

E^0_{[Zn^{2+}/Zn]}=-0.76V

Reduction takes place easily if the standard reduction potential is higher (positive) and oxidation takes place easily if the standard reduction potential is less (more negative).

Here Mg undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. Zinc undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

Mg\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2e^-

Zn^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Zn

Thus magnesium gets oxidized.

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

the gravitational attraction that exists between all bodies

Explanation:

Comet shoemaker-levy 9 was the comet that broke away and collided with the largest planet on our solar system, the Jupiter. The comet fall apart from the asteroids in the year 1992 and flew and hit Jupiter in the year 1994. This was predicted by the scientist.

Similarly when a comet can hit a planet can be accurately predicted by the scientist or the researcher by understanding and studying the gravitational forces that exists between the bodies in the solar system. It is very important to understand the gravitational attractions which exists between all the bodies in the universe in order to calculate or predict when can a comet collide with a planet.
