Question

Consider the following reaction:

Answer 1

Answer:

The three statements are true

Explanation:

For the reaction:

I₂O₅(s) + 5CO(g) → I₂(s) + 5CO₂(g)

State oxidation of iodine in I₂O₅ is:

5 O²⁻ = 10⁻

As you have 2 I and the molecule has no charge, oxidation state of I is +5.

The carbon in CO has an oxidation state of +2 and in CO₂ is +4. That means the carbon is oxidized

An oxidizing agent is a substance that produce the oxidation of the agent that reacts with this one. CO is oxidized because of I₂O₅ is producing its oxidation being the oxidizing agent

Thus, the three statements are true.
