How to find a oxidizing agent in a equation? Dont spam​

Answer 1

Explanation:

So to identify an oxidizing agent, simply look at the oxidation number of an atom before and after the reaction. If the oxidation number is greater in the product, then it lost electrons and the substance was oxidized. If the oxidation number is less, then it gained electrons and was reduced.

Answer 2

$\huge \fbox \pink{Answer:}$

• Plan the problem. Break the reaction down into a net ionic equation and then into half-reactions. The substance that loses electrons is being oxidized and is the reducing agent. The substance that gains electrons is being reduced and is the oxidizing agent.
