Hey there!:
Copper plating on Zinc will occur via this simple reaction:
Cu²⁺ + 2 e⁻ ⇌ Cu
When a species gains electron, it is reduced. Its oxidation state is decreased. For example, in the above reaction Cu2+ gained 2 electron to get reduced to Cu. Its oxidation state changed from +2 to 0. Hence it is a reduction reaction.
So, the correct answer is :
The copper II ions gain two electrons and are reduced.
Answer B
Hope this helps!

the air you breathe is called carobon dioxide = co
Answer:
answer A
Explanation:
A) the quantity of usable energy declines with each transformation → True . Since the entropy increases , the amount of energy that can not be converted to useful energy increases and since the total amount of energy is conserved, the quantity of useful energy decreases.
B) energy can be neither created nor destroyed → False in the context of entropy , since the energy is conserved regardless of the changes in entropy (First law → conservation of energy vs second law → increase of entropy)
C) life should be impossible → False . Since the second law states that the entropy of the <u>universe </u>increases with time . Then the system (life) can experience a decrease in entropy at the expense of a larger increase in entropy of the surroundings ( so the net increase is positive)
D) it is not possible to observe an increase in molecular organisation → False . Same as C. A system can experience a decrease in entropy at the expense of a larger increase in entropy of the surroundings ( so the net increase is positive)
Answer:
18 oxygen atoms
Explanation:
in order to from the 6 molecules carbon dioxide and 6 molecules of water you will have a total of 18 oxygen atoms
