The nature of zinc powder and Cobalt (II )oxide is heated the following reaction occurs ;

Scilla [17]

1) The metal which reduces the other compound is the one higher in the reactivity. So in this case it is $\mathrm{Zn}$ .

2) The substance which brings about reduction while itself getting oxidised (that is losing electrons) is called a reducing agent. Here, $\mathrm{Zn}$ is the reducing agent and reduces Cobalt Oxide to Cobalt while itself getting oxidised to Zinc oxide.

Which statement does NOT apply to Alkenes?

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

They are more stable than alkanes

Explanation:

Alkenes are a type of unsaturated hydrocarbons which means they have a double bond in their structure, or lack maximum number of hydrogen atoms on each carbon.
Alkenes have a general formula of CnH2n. They are called unsaturated hydrocarbons since they have a double bond. They are therefore less stable compared to alkanes and also are readily reactive.
