To determine the ions that can behave as oxidizing agents, we need to understand the concept of oxidation states and the role of oxidizing agents:
Now, let's analyze the given ions:
Based on the above analysis, the ions that can act as oxidizing agents are:
Thus, the number of ions expected to behave as oxidizing agents is 2.
Therefore, the correct answer is 2.
(A) Explain the following reactions and write chemical equations involved:
(a) Wolff-Kishner reduction
(b) Etard reaction
(c) Cannizzaro reaction
Consider the following compounds: K$_2$O$_2$, H$_2$O$_2$, and H$_2$SO$_4$
The oxidation states of the underlined elements in them are, respectively:
Let \( C_{t-1} = 28, C_t = 56 \) and \( C_{t+1} = 70 \). Let \( A(4 \cos t, 4 \sin t), B(2 \sin t, -2 \cos t) \text{ and } C(3r - n_1, r^2 - n - 1) \) be the vertices of a triangle ABC, where \( t \) is a parameter. If \( (3x - 1)^2 + (3y)^2 = \alpha \) is the locus of the centroid of triangle ABC, then \( \alpha \) equals:
