Reducing agent is an element or compound that loses an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction and they have been oxidized.

How many uL are present in 250 mL of H20? (1 uL = 10^-6 Liters)

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

250000 μL

Explanation:

If 1 L = 1000 mL

Then X L = 250 mL

X = (1 × 250) / 1000 = 0.25 L

Now we can calculate the number of microliters (μL) in 0.25 L:

if 1 μL = 10⁻⁶ L

then X μL = 0.25 L

X = (1 × 0.25) / 10⁻⁶ =250000 μL
