Question

Name the substance oxidised,reduced, oxidising agent and reducing agent for the following CH3COOH + NaOH -----> CH3COONa + H2O

Answer 1

CH3COOH + NaOH--------> CH3COONa + H2O

In the given redox reaction oxidised,reduced, oxidising agent and reducing agent are :-

1. OXidation :- CH3COOH

because it loses H ion.

2. Reduction :- NaOH

because it gains H ion.

3. Oxidising Agent :- NaOH

4. Reducing Agent :- CH3COOH

Hope that this is helpful.
