Answer:

Mn is the oxidizing agent.

N is the reducing agent.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, according to the undergoing chemical reaction, it is seen that the manganese in KMnO4 has an oxidation state of 7+, in MnSO4 of 2+ and nitrogen in KNO2 is 3+ and in KNO3 is 5+; thus we have the following half-reactions:

Mn^{7+}+5e^-\rightarrow Mn^{2+}\\\\N^{3+}\rightarrow N^{5+}+2e^-

Thus, since manganese is undergoing a decrease in the oxidation state, we infer it is the oxidizing agent whereas nitrogen, undergoing an increase in the oxidation state is the reducing agent.

Best regards!

MrMuchimi

Answer is C – Unsaturated fat.

Fats are large molecules basically made from a combination of glycerol and three chains of fatty acids. Usually fats consist of C, H and O. According to the C – C bond, there are two types of fats as saturated fats and unsaturated fats. Saturated fats have only C – C single bonds and all C atoms are sp³ hybridized atoms. But in unsaturated fats other than C – C single bonds there are C – C double bonds. Hence, both sp³ and sp² hybridized C atoms can be seen.
