Question

7. In the reaction,
4Na + 0, → 2Na,0, sodium acts
as a/an
(a) oxidising agent
(b) reducing agent
(c) complexing agent
(d) None of these​

Answer 1

Answer:

reducing agent-Na-because of the sodium in Na form will have0oxidatoin state

in Na2O oxidation state is +1

so it is oxididised

so it is a reducing agent.

Answer 2

a.9xadising agent

Explanation:

Name the compound that gets oxidised in the following reaction: 4Na + O2 gives 2Na2O. Sodium (Na) gains oxygen and gets oxidised to sodium oxide (Na2O).
