<span>The answer is B. Convection occurs when hot/warm
water rise to the top and the cold water goes to the bottom in a vessel. This is
because hot/warm water is less dense than cold water. Additionally, convection
currents are well perceptible in air and water and fluid substances that are
poor conductors of heat</span>
Answer: D
Explanation:
A reducing agent is a species that reduces other compounds, and is thereby oxidized. The whole compound becomes the reducing agent. In other words, of a compound is oxidized, then they are the reducing agent. On the other hand, if the compound is reduced, it is an ozidizing agent.
Since we have established that a reducing agent is the compound being oxidized, we know that A is not our answer. An oxidized compound is losing electrons. Choice A states exactly this.
For B, this is true as we have established this already.
C is also correct. Since a reducing agent loses electrons, it becomes more positive. This makes the oxidation number increase.
D would be our correct answer. It is actually a good oxidizing agent is a metal in a high oxidation state, such as Mn⁷⁺.
Answer:
273 K
Explanation:
The temperature of a gas at STP is 273 K. This is equal to 0°C or 32°F.
Answer:
C. Scientists accepted the model at first but later rejected it.
Explanation:
Scientists accepted the model at first because it explained the hydrogen emission spectrum.
However, with the development of quantum mechanics, scientists had to modify the model (not reject it).
Electrons still had specific energies, but they no longer travelled in fixed orbits.
Instead, electrons had a probability of being found in a given region of space.
