Chapter 14, Problem 34E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The oxidizing and reducing agents in the respiration reaction are to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Oxidation is the addition of an electronegative element or the removal of anelectropositive element in a
Reduction is the addition of an electropositive element or the removal of an electronegative element in a chemical reaction.
A chemical reaction in which both oxidation and reduction takes place simultaneously is called a
An oxidizing agent is a substance that oxidizes the other substance and gets reduced in a chemical reaction.
A reducing agent is a substance that reduces the other substance and gets oxidized in a chemical reaction.

- The iron content of hemoglobin is determined by destroying the hemoglobin molecule and producing small water-soluble ions and molecules. The iron in the aqueous solution is reduced to iron(II) ion and then titrated against potassium permanganate. In the titration, iron(ll) is oxidized to iron(III) and permanganate is reduced to manganese(II) ion. A 5.00-g sample of hemoglobin requires 32.3 mL of a 0.002100 M solution of potassium permanganate.
