Question

In the reaction
CuO (s) + H2 (g) → Cu(s) + H2
O (g)
Chemical Reactions And Equations 17
(a) Name the oxidized substance.
(b) Name the reduced substance.
(c) Name the oxidizing agent

Answer 1

In the reaction
CuO (s) + H2 (g) → Cu(s) + H2O (g)

a) Name the oxidized substance.
Oxidation means addition of oxygen .
So In the given reaction, Hydrogen is oxidized.

b)Name the reduced substance.
Reduction means removal of oxygen .
So the substances getting reduced is CuO.

Oxidizing agent which helps in oxidizing and it is CuO

Answer 2

Hey mate !!!

reaction should be=>

Cuo+ H2= Cu + H20 .

1) here the oxidized substance is =>H20 .

as the oxygen is added to hydrogen.

2) hear the reduced substance is=>Cu

at the oxygen removed from copper oxide.

3) oxidizing agent is copper oxide. ( Cuo).

as the copper is reduced from copper oxide so copper oxide is reducing agent.

hope it helps!!!!

thanks
