Explanation:

Hydrogen reduces the oxides of the less active metals, viz. removes oxygen from strongly heated metal oxides when passed over them, and in the process gets oxidized itself to water. Both alkali metals and hydrogen acts as reducing agents as given below-

CuO + H2 ==> Cu + H2O

CuO + 2Na ==> Cu + Na2O

in both cases CuO is oxidized..
