Answer:
Explanation:
Oxidation:
Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.
Reduction:
Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.
Oxidizing agents:
Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.
Reducing agents:
Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized.
Consider the following reaction:
2AgCl + Zn → 2Ag + ZnCl₂
In this reaction oxidation state of Zn on left side is 0 while on right side +2 so it gets oxidized and oxidation state of Ag on left side is +1 and on right side 0 so it get reduced.
4NH₃ + 3O₂ → 2N₂ + 6H₂O
In this reaction oxidation state of nitrogen on left side is -3 while on right side 0 so it gets oxidized and oxidation state of oxygen on left side is 0 and on right side -2 so it get reduced.
Fe₂O₃ + 2Al → Al₂O₃ + 2Fe
In this reaction oxidation state of iron on left side is +3 while on right side 0 so it gets reduced and oxidation state of Al on left side is 0 and on right side +3 so it get oxidized.
Answer:
d. is the hydrostatic pressure produced on the surface of a semi-permeable membrane by osmosis.
Explanation:
Osmosis -
It is the flow of the molecules of solvent from a region of higher concentration towards the region of lower concentration via a semipermeable membrane , is known as osmosis.
Osmotic pressure -
It refers to the minimum amount of pressure , which is required to be applied to the solution in order to avoid the flow of pure solvent via the semipermeable membrane , is referred to as osmotic pressure.
Or in simple terms ,
Osmotic pressure is the pressure applied to resists the process of osmosis.
Hence ,
From the given options in the question,
The correct option regarding osmotic pressure is d.
A mixture is said to be homogeneous if its composition is uniform throughout the mixture. They are referred to as solutions. On the other hand, heterogeneous mixture does not have uniform composition. The substances present in the mixture have visible difference or phases.
Sea water is composed of salt, sand and water. Here, salt and water form homogeneous mixture but due to the presence of sand, the mixture is heterogeneous. Salt dissolves in water and the solution has uniform composition but sand does not dissolve in water, even after vigorous mixing, after some time it settles at the bottom resulting formation of layers. Thus, sea water containing salt, water and sand is a heterogeneous mixture.
The substance that can be broken down by chemical means from the choices given is CO (Carbon monoxide). Carbon monoxide is a compound made up of carbon and oxygen and can therefore be broken by chemical means.
