Answer from: brittneyrenae7338

Answer : The correct option is, $Fe^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Fe(s)$

Explanation :

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction is the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Reduction reaction : The reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

Oxidation reaction : The reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

The given balanced chemical reaction is :

$Mg(s)+Fe^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Mg^{2+}(aq)+Fe(s)$

The oxidation-reduction half reaction will be :

Oxidation : $Mg\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction : $Fe^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Fe$

In this reaction, the oxidation state of 'Mg' changes from (0) to (+2) that means Mg lost 2 electrons and it shows oxidation and the oxidation state of 'Fe' changes from (+2) to (0) that means Fe gains 2 electrons and it shows reduction.

Therefore, the correct option is, $Fe^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Fe(s)$

Answer from: Quest

answer: e. sour taste

explanation: acids are those substances which dissociates in water to give $h^+$ ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. acids are sour in taste. example: hcl

$hcl\rightarrow h^++cl^-$

bases are those substances which dissociates in water to give $oh^-$ ions or accepts $h^+$ ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. bases are bitter in taste. bases are slippery in nature.

$naoh\rightarrow na^++oh^-$

$nh_3+h^+\rightarrow nh_4^+$

Answer from: Quest

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
