Answer
The correct answer is C lose electrons. An oxidising agent is a substance that gains electrons and in the process oxidizes another substance.

Answer
The correct answer is C The equilibrium position shifts to the right. This statement is false because a catalyst does not change the position of equilibrium; it only speeds up the attainment of equilibrium.

Answer
The correct answer is C H2PO4− and HPO42−. These do not represent a conjugate acid-base pair because they differ by two protons instead of one.
