The correct answer is C: Calcium carbonate in water is a solution
Answer:
The oxidation number of the metal decreases
2 Al + Fe₂O₃ → Al₂O₃ + 2 FeO
The metal element iron, is reduced from Fe⁺³ in Fe₂O₃ to Fe⁺² in FeO
Explanation:
When an element gains electron, the element becomes reduced, hence when a metal is reduced, the metal gains electrons, which reduces the oxidation number of the metal
An example of a metal being reduced is;
2 Al + Fe₂O₃ → Al₂O₃ + 2 FeO
In the above reaction, the iron (III) oxide is reduced to iron (II) oxide by aluminium metal.
Answer:
B) diffraction
Explanation:
A smooth pane of glass does not diffract light. A light passing through a smooth pane of glass may be absorbed, reflected or transmitted.
Diffraction only occurs with special types of glasses embedded with a diffraction grating and are called super prisms. Diffraction glasses use a a gradient lens which is able to separate light into all the colors of the rainbow.
Recall that diffraction is the separation of white light into its component wavelengths.
