6. In the following reaction, identify the oxidizing and reducing agents.
3Ca + VO3 --> 3CaO + V
a. Ca+2 is the reducing agent, VO3 is the oxidizing agent
b. Ca is the oxidizing agent, VO3 is the reducing agent
c. Ca is the reducing agent, V is the oxidizing agent
d. Ca is the reducing agent, O-2 is the oxidizing agent
e. Ca is the reducing agent, VO3 is the oxidizing agent
Redox chemistry is one more step in the stiochiometry section of complexity. Balancing not only for mass, and composition, but also for electrons and charges. Follow the electrons.
