- Magnesium carbonate is soluble in water (100 mg / L) whereas strontium carbonate is only slightly soluble in water (11 mg / L). Would you expect barium carbonate to be more or less soluble than calcium carbonate? Why? 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−, B−, and C−ions, all of which are colorless. When a solution of C is mixed with one containing B− ions, the color changes from red to yellow. Which species is oxidized? Which species is reduced? When a solution of C is mixed with one containing A− ions, the color remains red. Is C a better oxidizing agent than A? Or it is a better oxidizing agent than B?
