Substances A, B, and C can all act as oxidizing agents. In solution, A is green, B is yellow, and C is red. In the reactions in

which they participate, they are reduced to A-, B-, and C- ions, all of which are colorless. When a solution of C is mixed with one containing B- ions, the color changes from red to yellow.Which species is oxidized? Which is reduced?When a solution of C is mixed with one containing A- ions, the color remains red.Is C a better oxidizing agent than A?Is C a better oxidizing agent than B?

Explanation:

Oxidizing agents are defined as the agents which oxidize other substance and itself gets reduced. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

Reducing agents are defined as the agents which reduces the other substance and itself gets oxidized. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

When oxidizing agent-A get reduced it changes green to colorless.

A+e^-\rightarrow A^-

When oxidizing agent-B get reduced it changes yellow to colorless.

B+e^-\rightarrow B^-

When oxidizing agent-C get reduced it changes red to colorless.

C+e^-\rightarrow C^-

1) When we added solution C that oxidizing agent-C in solution containing B^- ions changes from red to yellow:

C+B^-\rightarrow C^-+B(yellow)

So, in this C is oxidizing B^- ion into B which yellow in color.

C is reduced and B^- ions is oxidized.

Here, B^- are oxidized by C which means that C a better oxidizing agent than B.

2) When a solution of C is mixed with one containing A- ions, the color remains red.

C+A^-\rightarrow no reaction

As we had observed that no color change was seen on adding substance C to the solution with A^- ions which indicates that C was unable to oxidize A^- ions. Hence, not a better oxidizing agent than A

Effectus [21]

Answer:

The number of atoms in the outermost shell  

Explanation:

For example, the electron shells in the alkali metals contain the following numbers of electrons:

 Li: 2, 1

Na: 2, 8, 1

 K: 2, 8, 8, 1

They all have one electron in their outermost shell, and they have similar chemical properties.

The chemical reaction in which two molecules combine to form a larger molecule, and water is released is called
Semmy [17]

Answer: condenstation.


Justification:


The polymerization by condensation is a well know chemical reaction in which two monomers ("small" molecules), each with (at least) two functional groups, combine and relase water as by-product. Actually, even if the by-product released is not water, yet the reaction is called condenstation, since the mechanism is basically the same.


An example of such reaction is the manufacturing of nylon 6,6, which is produced from adipic acid and 1,6-diamine hexane:


HOOC - [CH₂]₄ - COOH + nH₂N - [CH₂]₆ - NH₂ → - nylon - + nH₂O


I omitted the formula of nylon because it is large, and that is not the core of the question but the fact the kind of reaction: two molecules combine to form is a larger molecule, and water is released
