The reducing agent is donating electrons and therefore becoming oxidised itself. In this scenario elemental zinc (Zn) is in a reduced state and is oxidised to become Zn2+, in doing so it donates electrons to Fe2+, thereby reducing it to elemental iron (Fe).
The elemental Zinc in solid state is therefore the reducing agent as it reduces Fe2+ to Fe(s).
Answer:
17)c: the reactivity of a metal.
Explanation:
5
mL acetic acid
95
mL water
Explanation:
Since
5
%
of the vinegar, by volume, is acetic acid, and we have
100
mL of vinegar, we have
5
mL of vinegar.
Similarly, we have
100
%
−
5
%
=
95
%
being water, so we have
95
mL of water.
