a) Which are oxidizing agents?
b) Which are reducing agents?
c) Which can be used as primary standards?

Expert Solution

a) Oxidizing agents:

You can look at the oxidation state of the metal and see if it can act as an oxidizing agent or reducing agent. For e.g. In the oxidation state of Cr is +6. Hence, it can itself get reduced to +4 or +5 and thereby oxidizing another species.

The chemicals that itself gets reduced in the process of oxidizing another substance. Among the given substances, the following are oxidizing agents.

b) Reducing agents are the substances that itself can get oxidise and in the process reduce the other species in the reaction. The following are reducing agents from the list.

c) Primary standards are substance which are very pure and thus when we make a solution by taking them in a solvent, we can accurately determine its concentration. Generally the substance that do not make hydrated complexes and goes not get easily oxidised are taken as primary standards. Among the given substances, the following can be used as a primary standard:

Question: Using the information and equations below determine the concentration of Vitamin C in an unknown soft drink. Hints: In this experiment, the amount of potassium iodate determines the amount of iodine that is produced. In addition, the first part of the experiment requires the determination of the concentration of the thiosulphate solution. This is done by generating a known amount of iodine via the reaction between potassium iodide and a known amount of potassium iodate in an acidic medium....

A2. Below are the chemical structures of fat, vitamin C, and THC (the active ingredient in the drug marijuana). The fat and THC molecules contain lots of carbon atoms, which makes them very nearly nonpolar. Chemicals that are fat-soluble are retained in fat cells for long periods of time. Chemicals that are water-soluble are quickly excreted by the body. Explain the following: (a) A person who uses marijuana will test positive for THC for several weeks after using this drug....
