The correct Answer is:
To determine the number of reducing agents from the given species: \( H_2S, SO_3, CrO_4^{2-}, Fe^{2+}, MnO_4^{\Theta} \), we will analyze each species to see if it can act as a reducing agent. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Reducing Agents**: - A reducing agent is a substance that donates electrons to another substance, thereby reducing it while itself being oxidized. 2. **Analyzing Each Species**: - **\( H_2S \)**: - Hydrogen sulfide can donate electrons and is known to act as a reducing agent. - **Conclusion**: \( H_2S \) is a reducing agent. - **\( SO_3 \)**: - Sulfur trioxide typically acts as an oxidizing agent rather than a reducing agent. - **Conclusion**: \( SO_3 \) is not a reducing agent. - **\( CrO_4^{2-} \)**: - Chromate ion is a strong oxidizing agent and can oxidize other substances. - **Conclusion**: \( CrO_4^{2-} \) is not a reducing agent. - **\( Fe^{2+} \)**: - Ferrous ion can donate electrons and is known to act as a reducing agent. - **Conclusion**: \( Fe^{2+} \) is a reducing agent. - **\( MnO_4^{\Theta} \)**: - Permanganate ion is a very strong oxidizing agent and does not act as a reducing agent. - **Conclusion**: \( MnO_4^{\Theta} \) is not a reducing agent. 3. **Counting the Reducing Agents**: - From the analysis, the reducing agents identified are \( H_2S \) and \( Fe^{2+} \). - Therefore, the total number of reducing agents is **2**. ### Final Answer: The number of reducing agents from the given species is **2**. ---
