The mercury level in a capillary tube placed in a dish of mercury is actually below the surface of the mercury in the dish. Please choose the answer that best explains the phenomenon. a. Mercury flows freely and is incapable of clinging to the walls of the capillary tube. b. Mercury has an incredibly high density for a liquid, making it too heavy to climb the capillary tube, c. The cohesive forces of mercury are much stronger than its adhesive forces. The adhesive forces may be repulsive, causing the mercury level in the tube to be lower than the mercury in the dish. d. Mercury is a polar molecule. It creates incredibly high cohesive forces, which prevent the mercury from climbing the capillary tube.

Solar energy is energy from the sun that is converted into thermal or energy. a. nuclear b. mechanical c. electrical d. chemical

Oxidation-reduction reactions (often called "redox" for short) are reactions that involve the transfer of electrons from one species to another. oxidation states, or oxidation numbers, allow chemists to keep track of these electron transfers. in general, one element will lose electrons (oxidation), with the result that it will increase in oxidation number, and another element will gain electrons (reduction), thereby decreasing in oxidation number. the species that is oxidized is called the reducing agent or reductant. the species that is reduced is called the oxidizing agent or oxidant. to sum up: oxidation = increase in oxidation state = loss of electrons = reducing agent reduction = decrease in oxidation state = gain of electrons = oxidizing agent part a which element is oxidized in this reaction? fe2o3+3co→2fe+3co2 enter the elemental symbol. view available hint(s) is oxidized part b which element is reduced in this reaction? 2hcl+2kmno4+3h2c2o4→6co2+2mno2+2kcl+4h2o enter the elemental symbol. view available hint(s) is reduced
