Identify each of the following half-reactions as either an oxidation half-reaction or a reduction half-reaction. half-reaction identification
Cu+(aq)--->Cu2+(aq) + e-
I2(s) + 2e--->2I-(aq)

Cu+(aq)--->Cu2+(aq) + e- : oxidation

reason: there is loss of electrons.

I2(s) + 2e--->2I-(aq) : reduction

reason: There is reduction of electrons.

a pan containing water is placed in a positio n where it is exposed to a 10 mile per hour wind. the pan contains a uniform depth of 1.27 cm of water, is quite wide, and has a length of 2.44 m in the wind direction. the water in the pan is at a constant temperature of 15.5 °c.

it can be observed without changing the identity of the object.

it depends on what substance you're talking about as well as many other factors. in quantum mechanics, the observation of particles affects the observers ability to measure certain properties. for example: you can know the velocity of a particle, but you can't know it's position; or you can know it's position, but not it's velocity. it's like trying to find out where a grain of sand is by throwing other grains of sand at it. once you find out where it is, it's been moved. it's also like trying to find an answer to the question of whether or not a tree falling in a forest makes a sound if nobody is there to hear it. paradoxically, the only way to find out is to be there and hear it.
