Consider the redox equation, 2VO43-(aq) + SO2(g) + 8H+(aq) \rarr 2VO2+(aq) + SO42-(aq) + 4H2O(l) Which of the following is correct?Hint: Write out the oxidation numbers for each element in the equation then compare.


A) VO43-(aq) is the oxidizing agent as the oxidation number of O decreases by 3.
B) VO2+(aq) is the reducing agent as the oxidation number of V increases by 1, causing the oxidation number of S to increase by 1 also.
C) H+(aq) is the reducing agent, its oxidation number increases from 1 to 2, as it must have lost one electron.
D) VO43-(aq) is the oxidizing agent, as the oxidation number of V decreases by 1, suggesting it must have accepted an electron.
E) SO42-(aq) is the oxidizing agent and the product formed from the reduction of SO2(g) .
