At night, the moon appears bright. which of the following explains this? a. the moon reflects the light produced by the sun. b. the moon releases the light it absorbed during the day. c. the light from the earth is reflected by the moon.

When the surface of moon reflects light from the sun, it results in shining of moon and regardless the fact that sometimes moon seems to shine brightly, the moon reflects between 3 to 12 percent of the sunlight which hits it. The moon brightness depends upon the position of the moon in orbit around the planet from the earth.

Hence, the correct option is A that is the Moon reflects the light produced by the Sun.

answer: - 3.) the oxidation state of nitrogen in no changes from +2 to 0, and the oxidation state of carbon in co changes from +2 to +4 as the reaction proceeds.

solution: - as per the rules, oxidation number of oxygen in its compounds is -2. the sum of oxidation numbers of all the elements of a molecule or compound is zero.

also, the oxidation number in elemental form is zero.

in no, the oxidation number of o is -2 so the oxidation number of n is +2 so that the sum is zero.

similarly, the oxidation number of c in co is +2 and o is -2.

on product side the oxidation number of n is 0 as it is in the elemental form() .

oxidation number of c in carbon dioxide is +4 as there are two oxygen in it and we know that each oxygen is -2.

so, oxidation number of n is changing from +2 to 0 and the oxidation number of c is changing from +2 to +4.

since nitrogen is reduced and hence no is acting as an oxidizing agent. carbon is oxidized and so co is acting as a reducing agent.

so, the right choice is number 3.)the oxidation state of nitrogen in no changes from +2 to 0, and the oxidation state of carbon in co changes from +2 to +4 as the reaction proceeds.
