Question

2 PbO + C = 2 Pb + CO find the reducing agent​

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Reducing agent is same as the oxidation so the reducing agent is C(carbon).

Answer 2

This is an oxidation-reduction process, where both oxidation and reduction has taken place simultaneously.

PbO is Lead (II) Oxide that is reduced to Lead (Pb) and Carbon or C is oxidized to CO2 or Carbon dioxide.

Hence, the oxidized substance is Carbon dioxide or CO2 is the oxidized substance, while Lead (Pb) is the reduced substance in the chemical reaction.

Here, Carbon acts as the reducing agent and Lead Oxide acts as the oxidizing agent.
