Explanation:
A commonly used oxidizing agent is potassium dichromate(VI) solution acidified with dilute sulfuric acid. Ethanal can also be reduced back to ethanol by adding hydrogen. A possible reducing agent is sodium tetrahydridoborate, NaBH4. ... Oxidizing agents add oxygen to another substance or remove hydrogen from it.

Answer: The reactant that brings about the oxidation is called the oxidizing agent, and that reagent is itself reduced by the reducing agent. In the examples given above, mercury(II) oxide, oxygen, and the copper(II) ion are oxidizing agents, and carbon, hydrazine, and zinc are the reducing agents
Some compounds can act as either oxidizing agents or reducing agents.
