Carbon is found in all known forms of life. which statement best describes why carbon is uniquely suited to forming macromolecules such as those found in living organisms?
a. carbon forms large compounds that are not chemically reactive.
b. carbon forms weak bonds with other atoms that can be easily broken to release energy.
c. carbon forms strong, stable bonds with up to four other atoms, including other carbon atoms.
d. carbon forms large, flat compounds that have increased surface area for reactions.

If 34.2 grams of lithium react with excess water, how many liters of hydrogen gas can be produced at 299 kelvin and 1.21 atmospheres? 2 li (s) + 2 h2o (l) yields 2 lioh (aq) + h2 (g)

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
