I did the test and the answer is C.
Two precursor alkenes
H₃C CH₃
I I
H₂C=C-CH-CH₃ 2,3-dimethyl-1-butene
H₃C CH₃
I I
H₃C-CH=CH-CH₃ 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene
alkane
H₃C CH₃
I I
H₃C-CH-CH-CH₃ 2,3-dimethylbutane
H₃C CH₃ H₃C CH₃
I I I I
H₂C=C-CH-CH₃ + H₂ → H₃C-CH-CH-CH₃
H₃C CH₃ H₃C CH₃
I I I I
H₂C-C=CH-CH₃ + H₂ → H₃C-CH-CH-CH₃
<span>So the oxidizing agent will receive electrons from the reducing agent and the oxidation agent will take electrons from the reducing agent.</span>
Scientists should control most possible variables in experiments to get the most valid and correct data. If many variables are included in experiments it is more difficult to interpret what is causing a different outcome.
