Hey there!
Chemical changes are changes in object's chemical compounds and chemical compositions, and often can't be reversed.
Here's an example:
If you have a piece of paper and you happen to burn it, that can't be reversed.
In other words, it can't be "un-burned". Nothing can restore it to its previous state.
Hopefully this helped!

Answer:
a
Explanation:
because na + has 11 electrons and has a higher chance to give away one then to gain 7 more. so the answer is a

Answer:
D. Ni²⁺
Explanation:
We know at once that the answer cannot be A or C, because Ni and Cu are already in their lowest oxidation states.
The correct answer must be either B or D.
An electrolytic cell is the opposite of a galvanic cell. In the former, the reaction proceeds spontaneously. In the latter, you must force the reaction to occur.
One strategy to solve this problem is:
- Look up the standard reduction potentials for the half reaction·
- Figure out the spontaneous direction.
- Write the equation in the reverse direction.
1. Standard reduction potentials
E°/V
Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Cu; 0.3419
Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Ni; -0.257
2. Galvanic Cell
We reverse the direction of the more negative half cell and add.
<u>E°/V
</u>
Ni ⟶ Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻; 0.257
<u>Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Cu; </u> 0.3419
Ni + Cu²⁺ ⟶ Cu + Ni²⁺; 0.599
This is the spontaneous direction.
Cu²⁺ is reduced to Cu.
3. Electrochemical cell
<u>E°/V</u>
Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Ni; -0.257
<u>Cu ⟶ Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻; </u> <u>-0.3419</u>
Cu + Ni²⁺ ⟶ Ni + Cu²⁺; -0.599
This is the non-spontaneous direction.
Ni²⁺ is reduced to Ni in the electrolytic cell.
