Question

In the reaction, CuO+H2 ➔ Cu+H2O what CuO act as ?
1 reducing agent
2 oxidising agent
3 catalyst
4 dehydrating agent

Answer 1

Answer:

2. oxidising agent

Explanation:

In above reaction, cupric oxide (CuO) acts as an oxidising agent as it oxidises hydrogen(H2) to form water(H2O) and copper (Cu).

Answer 2

Answer:

2. Oxidizing Agent

Explanation:

Something is deemed as an oxidizing agent when it causes the other to gain oxygen molecules or it gets oxidized. Here Cu(Copper) caused H2 to gain O2 molecules, forming H2O(Water). So Copper causes the oxidation and itself gets reduced, thus Cu is an Oxidizing Agent.
