Answer:
Ni (s) is oxidized because it loses electrons. This makes it the reducing agent.
CuCl₂ (aq) is reduced because it gains electrons. This makes it the oxidizing agent.
Explanation:
In the reaction:
Ni(s) + CuCl₂(aq) → Cu(s) + NiCl₂(aq)
Ni (s) is oxidized because it loses electrons. This makes it the reducing agent.
------------> Ni (s) has an oxidation number of 0. All lone atoms (that are not ions) have a 0 oxidation number.
-------------> In NiCl₂ (aq), chlorine must have an oxidation number of -1, and because there are two chorine atoms, they contribute a total -2 charge. To make the overall charge neutral, nickel must have an oxidation number of +2 to balance the charges.
--------------> Because nickel goes from an oxidation number of 0 to +2, this indicates that it lost electrons and was reduced.
CuCl₂ (aq) is reduced because it gains electrons. This makes it the oxidizing agent.

Hi there! I had the same question on my test as well!
The correct answer is (A) Homogeneous mixture!
I hope I helped you, and I am 100% this is the right answer!
We have to know how urbanization causes pollution.
The reason is: People in urban areas consume more energy, food, and water.
Urbanisation is one of the major problem towards pollution. The smoke from automobiles, factories and power generators make air unhealthy. Also chemical spills and other toxic gases contaminate in air.
The mixing of toxins in the soil is polluting soil which disturbs eco-system.
The high density population in urban area consume more energy , food and water which causes pollution.
The balanced equation for the reaction between KOH and HBr is as follows;
KOH + HBr --> KBr + H₂O
stoichiometry of KOH to HBr is 1:1
number of KOH moles reacted - 0.25 mol/L x 0.015 L = 0.00375 mol
according to molar ration
number of KOH moles reacted = number of HBr moles reacted
number of HBr moles reacted - 0.00375 mol
if 12 mL of HBr contains - 0.00375 mol
then 1000 mL of HBr contains - 0.00375 mol / 12 mL x 1000 mL = 0.313 mol
therefore molarity of HBr is 0.313 M
I believe/thought they were very similar due to the fact that they both undergo a process called “oxidation” where they release oxygen into the atmosphere.
