Answer: D

Explanation:

A reducing agent is a species that reduces other compounds, and is thereby oxidized. The whole compound becomes the reducing agent. In other words, of a compound is oxidized, then they are the reducing agent. On the other hand, if the compound is reduced, it is an ozidizing agent.

Since we have established that a reducing agent is the compound being oxidized, we know that A is not our answer. An oxidized compound is losing electrons. Choice A states exactly this.

For B, this is true as we have established this already.

C is also correct. Since a reducing agent loses electrons, it becomes more positive. This makes the oxidation number increase.

D would be our correct answer. It is actually a good oxidizing agent is a metal in a high oxidation state, such as Mn⁷⁺.

Single and double replacement
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Explanation:

A single replacement or single displacement reaction is a reaction in which one substance replaces another.

            A  +   BC →   AC + B

The replacement of an ion in solution by a metal higher in the activity series is a special example of this reaction type.

The relative positions of the elements in the activity series provides the driving force for single displacement reactions.

A double replacement reaction is one in which there is an actual exchange of partners between reacting species. This reaction is more common between ionic substances;

              AB + CD → AC + BD

Such reactions are usually driven by;

  • formation of precipitation
  • formation of water and a gaseous product

How many grams of na3po4 will be needed to produce 650. mL of a solution that has a concentration of na+ ions of 1.40 M
SashulF [63]

Answer:

I think its 1.40M Na^+ we convert to Na3PO4 which means we need 1.40M x (1 mole Na3PO4/3 mol Na^+) = 1.40 x 1/3 = 0.467 M Na3PO4.
