Question
**Considering the following net ionic equation:** \[ M_x + Fe^{2+} \rightarrow M_x^{2+} + Fe \] The species oxidized is ___ and the oxidizing agent is ___. **Choices:** - ○ **M\_x, M\_x** - ○ **M\_x, Fe^{2+}** - ○ **Fe, Fe^{2+}** - ● **Fe^{2+}, M\_x** In this equation, a metal \( M_x \) reacts with \( Fe^{2+} \) ions, resulting in the oxidation of \( M_x \) to \( M_x^{2+} \) and the reduction of \( Fe^{2+} \) to elemental iron \( Fe \). **Note:** - **Oxidized Species:** A species that loses electrons and increases its oxidation state. In this reaction, \( Fe^{2+} \) is getting oxidized. - **Oxidizing Agent:** A substance that brings about the oxidation of another by being reduced itself. Here, \( M_x \) is the oxidizing agent as it gets oxidized.
