Substances A, B, and C can all act as oxidizing agents. In solution, A is green, B is yellow, and C is red. In the reactions in which they participate, they are reduced to A minus, B minus, and C minus ions, all of which are colorless. When a solution of Cis mixed with one containing B minus ions, the color changes from red to yellow. Which species is more active? Hint: For X2 + 2 Y 1 minus Y2 + 2 X 1 minus ---> If a reaction occurs, X is more active than Y. If a reaction does not occur, Y is more active than X. C B
