Answer 2

In this reaction Fe is oxidised and ferrous sulphate is a reducing agent.

• The species which loose its electron is oxidised species.
• The species which donates its electron is called reducing agent.
• In the reaction-
• $CuSO_4+Fe\rightarrow FeSO_4+Cu$
• Here Cu in $CuSO_4$ has $Cu^{+2}$ oxidation state and accepts two electrons and converted to Cu.
• Here Fe accepts two electrons and converted to $FeSO_4$.
• So here Fe is oxidised and $FeSO_4$ is reducing agent.
