Question

I need help answering number 3 using number 2 ! Please show work 2. Consider three substances, A, B, C, which can all act as oxidizing agents. In their reactions they will be reduced to A, B, and C. It is found that when a solution of A is mixed with a solution containing C, an oxidation-reduction reaction occurs. Write the equation for the reaction: Which species is oxidized? Which species is reduced? It is then found that when a solution of A is mixed with one containing B, no reaction occurs. Is A or B the better oxidizing agent? Is A or C the better oxidizing agent? Arrange A, B, and C in order of increasing strengths as oxidizing agents 3. Chemists often make tables or flow charts to summarize the results of known tests and to use when identifying unknown samples. Complete a table of the results of mixing A with each of the oxidizing agents, A, B and C, based on the data in Problem 2. Add your predicted results for similar tests on B and C to your table. When a student receives a solution containing one of the anions (cal X), he can identify the unknown by one or, at most, two tests with the solutions of A, B and C. Write a flow chart to follow as a procedure for the identification

Explanation / Answer

Q2) Oxidizing agents: A,B,C

The redox reaction taking place is represented by the equation:

A+C- ---->A- +C (Here ,A is reduced to A- and C- is oxidized to C)

A+B- ---> no reaction

This means C- is a better reducing agent than B- to be able to reduce A.or in other words, C is a better oxdizing agent than B

C>B [oxidizing property]

Also, A is better oxidizing agent than C ,and A is less oxidizing than B

C>B>A

Q3)

X- +A--->test1 any and of the below test 2 can help to identify X-

X- +B---> or X- +C--->

Example:

X- +C--->C- +X

X- +B--->X+B- then B>X and C>X then

C>B>A

X=A

A+A- ---->no rxn, B+A----->B- +A, C+A- ---->C- +A A+B- --->no rxn,B+ B- --->no rxn, C+B- --->B+C- A+C- -->no rxn ,B+C- --->no rxn ,C+C- --> no rxn
