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⁺.
The correct answer would be D. Ca^2+ has 18 electrons. This is because 2+ means that 2 electrons have been removed, and Ca starts out with 20 electrons. As 20 - 2 = 18 electrons, D is the correct answer.
Hope this helps!
A.how many moles of aspirin are in one tablet
0.325 g ( 1 mol / 180.2 g ) = 1.80 x 10^-3 mol
B. How many moles of oxygen are in one tablet of aspirin
1.80 x 10^-3 mol C9H8O4 ( 4 mol O / 1 mol <span>C9H8O4) = 7.21 x 10^-3 mol O

C. How many atoms of carbon are in one tablet of aspirin
1.80 x 10^-3 mol C9H8O4 ( 9 mol C / 1 mol C9H8O4 ) ( 6.022 x 10^23 atoms C / 1 mol C ) = 9.76 x 10^21 atoms C
D. How many grams of oxygen in one tablet of aspirin
7.21 x 10^-3 mol O ( 16 g / mol ) = 0.12 g O
