Under standard-state conditions, which of the following species is the best reducing agent? a. Ag+ b. Pb c. H2 d. Ag e. Mg2+

eimsori [14]

Answer: The correct answer is Option b.

Explanation:

Reducing agents are defined as the agents which help the other substance to get reduced and itself gets oxidized. They undergo oxidation reaction.

$X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-$

For determination of reducing agents, we will look at the oxidation potentials of the substance. Oxidation potentials can be determined by reversing the standard reduction potentials.

For the given options:

Option a: $Ag^+$

This ion cannot be further oxidized because +1 is the most stable oxidation state of silver.

Option b: $Pb$

This metal can easily get oxidized to $Pb^{2+}$ ion and the standard oxidation potential for this is 0.13 V

$Pb\rightarrow Pb^{2+}+2e^-;E^o_{(Pb/Pb^{2+})}=+0.13V$

Option c: $H_2$

This metal can easily get oxidized to $H^{+}$ ion and the standard oxidation potential for this is 0.0 V

$H_2\rightarrow 2H^++2e^-;E^o_{(H_2/H^{+})}=0.0V$

Option d: $Ag$

This metal can easily get oxidized to $Ag^{+}$ ion and the standard oxidation potential for this is -0.80 V

$Ag\rightarrow Ag^{+}+e^-;E^o_{(Ag/Ag^{+})}=-0.80V$

Option e: $Mg^{2+}$

This ion cannot be further oxidized because +2 is the most stable oxidation state of magnesium.

By looking at the standard oxidation potential of the substances, the substance having highest positive $E^o$ potential will always get oxidized and will undergo oxidation reaction. Thus, considered as strong reducing agent.

From the above values, the correct answer is Option b.

Melted candle wax has no fixed shape, but it does have a fixed volume. So, melted candle wax is a

dlinn [17]

It is a liquid because when you have a liquid, there is no definite shape. Therefore, this would be the answer because it takes the shape of its container.

Final answer: a. Liquid

When energy is transferred from the air to the water, what happens to most of the energy? A. It travels through the water. B. It

BigorU [14]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When energy is transferred from the air to the water then energy is absorbed by the water molecules.

This energy travels through one molecule of water to another molecule of water by the process of convection.

Thus, we can conclude that when energy is transferred from the air to the water, then it travels through the water.
