Consider the following redox equation: SO₂ + NO₂ $\rightarrow$ SO₃ + NO, choose an appropriate chemical formula from the list that identifies the substance oxidized.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The substance oxidized is the one that loses electrons, which in a redox reaction is the one that increases its oxidation state. The correct chemical formulas seem to be obscured by formatting issues, but based on the typical behavior in redox reactions, the substance that goes from a lower to a higher oxidation state (e.g., from "SO₂" to "SO₃") would be the one oxidized. Given the options and the common understanding of redox reactions, option A is chosen by interpreting the obscured text as indicating the substance that undergoes oxidation.
