I think I found the complete problem with the given choices. We know that O₂ is the oxidizing agent or the one that's reduced, while glucose is the reducing agent or the one that's oxidized. Following these information, the answer would be letter C, or the third choice.

The oxidation number of H before the reaction is -1, which became 1 after the reaction. The oxidation number increased, thus, H is the reducing agent.

Naddik [55]

Catalyst has found usage in non-scientific terms as an almost metaphorical word for something provokes or speeds up action or change. The word's applicability to many topics made it easy for it to find its way out of the scientific lexicon and into other domains, in this case political.

Its meaning is roughly the same, in that a catalyst in this context is something that facilitated or sped up the process of glasnost.

One distinct meaning that I notice is that "catalyst" in more casual or non-scientific speech is that it is often used as a creator of action all its own, an actor in itself, rather than a facilitating agent to a reaction, as its scientific definition states.

What is the mass of a solution that has a density of 0.775 g/ml and a volume of 50.0ml?

Margarita [4]
