An oxidizing agent, gains electrons and is reduced in a chemical reaction. It is usually in the highest oxidation state as it gains (accepts) electrons and is reduced.

A reducing agent loses electrons and is oxidized in a chemical reaction. A reducing agent is typically in one of its lower possible oxidation states, because it loses electrons (electron donor).

Having noted this, the following are the oxidation states of the substances in each equation.

Explanation:

Mg(s )+ NiCl2(aq)⟶MgCl2(aq)+ Ni(s) :

Mg is oxidized because it has lost electrons (oxidation number 0 to +2); Ni is reduced as it has gained electrons (oxidation number 2+ to 0)

PCl3(l )+ Cl2(g)⟶ PCl5(s)

P is oxidized as it haslost electrons (oxidation number 0 to +2); Ni is reduced as it has gained electrons (oxidation number 2+ to 0)

C2H4(g) + 3O2(g)⟶2CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

H2 is oxidized as it has lost electrons (oxidation number +2 to +1); C is reduced as it has gained electrons (oxidation number -2 to +4)

Zn(s) + H2SO4(aq) ⟶ZnSO4(aq) + H2(g)

Zn is oxidized as it has lost electrons (oxidation number 0 to +2); H2 is reduced as it has gained electrons (oxidation number +2 to 0)

2K2S2O3(s) + I2(s)⟶ K2S4O6(s) +2KI(s)

H2 is oxidized as it has lost electrons (oxidation number +2 to +1); C is reduced as it has gained electrons (oxidation number -2 to +4)

3Cu(s) + 8HNO3(aq) ⟶ 3Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2NO(g) + 4H2O(l)

Cu is oxidized as it has lost electrons (oxidation number 0 to +2); Nitrogen is reduced as it has gained electrons (oxidation number +5 to +4)

the mantle

explanation:

earth is divided into three layers: the crust or the outermost layer on which we live; the underlying, middle layer - the mantle - and the core (the innermost layer of earth).

Most likely a is the answer - because you generate 38 atp's but also consume an atp. each atp gives approx. less than 4 kcal so probably a is the closest answer.
