(a)
Interpretation:
The given
Concept introduction:
The oxidizer is the species whose oxidation state falls during the course of reaction and reducer is the species whose oxidation number increases. Oxidized product is the oxidation product of the reducer and reduced product is the reduction product of the oxidizer.
(b)
Interpretation:
The given redox reaction is spontaneous or nonspontaneous is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The oxidizer is the species whose oxidation state falls during the course of reaction and reducer is the species whose oxidation number increases. Oxidized product is the oxidation product of the reducer and reduced product is the reduction product of the oxidizer.
