Question

How to Identify what element Is:
i) Oxidized
ii) Reduced
iii) Oxidizing Agent
iv) Reducing Agent

Chemistry, Grade 10, Chapter 1.​

Answer 1

Answer:

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.

Explanation:

reducing agent is a substance that causes another substance to reduce. 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.
