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, <em>oxidation state of I is +5</em>.
The carbon in CO has an oxidation state of +2 and in CO₂ is +4. That means <em>the carbon is oxidized</em>
<em />
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 <em>the oxidizing agent</em>
<em></em>
Thus,<em> the three statements are true</em>.
