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

Why do we sometimes use roman numerals in naming ionic compounds?
Blababa [14]
Roman numerals are used in naming ionic compounds when the metal cation forms more than one ion. The metals that form more than one ion are the transition metals, although not all of them do this.

The line graph shows the heights of plants grown in fertilized and unfertilized soil. Based on this information, what will most
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

  • <u><em>g) Neither plant should increase by 1 cm in height.</em></u>

Explanation:

See the graph for this question on the figure attached.

The growing of the <em>plant A</em> is represented by the line that goes above the other. At start, that line has a slope that rises about 0.75 cm ( height increase) in 1 day. From the day 2 and forward the slope of the line decreases. The line reaches its highest point about at day 4 and seems to start decreasing. Thus, you should predict that on the day six it <em>most likely </em>does not increase in height.

The growing of the <em>plant B</em> is represented by the line drawn below the other. As for the plant B, the growing decreases with the number of days. Between the days 4 and 5 the line is almost flat, which means that <em>most likely</em> this plant will not grow on the day six or grow less than 0.5 cm.

Thus, for both plants you can say that <em>on day six, most likley, neither should increase by 1 cm in height (</em>option g).
