The correct answer is a descriptive investigation.
An investigation which does not involve hypotheses called descriptive investigation.
Hypotheses are termed as scientific hypotheses and require that one can test it. In hypothesis, previous observation can not satisfactorily be explained with an available scientific theory.
Working hypotheses are being proposed for further research.
All elements in their standard states (oxygen<span> gas, solid carbon in the form of graphite, etc.) have a standard </span>enthalpy of formation<span> of </span>zero<span>, as there is no change involved in their </span>formation<span>.</span>
Correct Question: what is the oxidizing agent in the reaction.
2MnO4–(aq) +10Cl–(aq) + 16H+(aq) --------> 5Cl2(g) + 2Mn2+(aq) +8H2O(l)
Answer: MnO4-is the oxidizing agent
Explanation:
In the reaction 2MnO4–(aq) +10Cl–(aq) + 16H+(aq) --------> 5Cl2(g) + 2Mn2+(aq) +8H2O(l)
Oxidizing agent oxidizes other molecules while the themselves get reduced.
oxidizing agents give away Oxygen to other compounds.
MnO4-is the oxidizing agent because
On the reactants side
Oxidation number of Mn in 2MnO4- is +7
Oxidation number of Cl- is -1
On the products side
Oxidation number of Mn is +2
While oxidation number of Cl is zero
Therefore the oxidizing agent is 2MnO4 because is oxidizes Chlorine from -1 to 0 while itself got reduced from oxidation state of +7 to +2
Hello!
The number of 20-g ice cubes required to absorb 47 kJ from a glass of water upon melting is 7 icecubes
Why?
We are going to clear from the equation of the released heat, the mass of ice (m). The specific latent heat of fusion of ice is 336 kJ/kg:

So, 7 ice cubes are required to absorb that amount of heat from the glass of water.
Have a nice day!
