how to identify oxidising agent and reducing agent with suitable examples
Answers
oxidising agent are the substance which is getting reduced
reducing agent are the substance which is ge tting oxidised
eg:
cuo +H2 ===== cu + H2O
here cuo is reduced as removal of oxygen
H2 is oxidized as addition of oxygen
s,H2 is reducing agent
cuo is oxidising agent
pls mark it brainliest
Question:
how to identify oxidising agent and reducing agent with suitable examples?
Answer:
◆ Redox Reaction = The reaction in which one substance added and another is removed.
● Oxidation Reaction = The reaction in which Oxygen is added and hydrogen is removed is called oxidation.
● Reduction Reaction = The reaction in which hydrogen is added and oxygen is removed is called reduction reaction.
● Oxidising Agent = The reaction in which hydrogen is added and oxygen is remove is called oxidising agent.
● Reducing Agent = The reaction in which Oxygen is added and hydrogen is removed is called reducing agent.
Example:
Reaction of Manganese dioxide with hydrochloric acid involves redox reaction.
MnO2 + 4HCl --- MnCl2 + Cl2 + 2H2O
Oxidising agent/reduction = Cl2
Reducing agent/oxidation = MnCl2
