aleksley [76]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A reducing agent in chemistry is any substance that accepts electrons and its oxidation number is decreased in a redox reaction.

Manganese occurs in a variety of oxidation states; +7, +6, +5, +4, +3, +2. This makes it an exceptionally good reducing agent since it can accept different number of electrons and change from one oxidation state to another.

The commonest compound of manganese used as a strong oxidizing agent is KMnO4 in which manganese has an oxidation number of +7.

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

d

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are compounds containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Therefore, a is true.

An empirical formula is the simplest ratio of atoms present in a compound. Therefore, C2H4O2 and C3H6O3, (if you simplified them like you would a fraction) would be CH2O. Therefore b is correct,

They also have the same % composition, with a ratio of 1 carbon : 2 hydrogen : 1 oxygen. Therefore, c is correct.

Since a, b and c are all correct, the answer is d, all of the above are true.
