Question

what is mean by reducing agent.
I will mark as brainliest​

Answer 1

Answer:

A reducing agent is an element or compound that loses an electron to an electron recipient in a redox chemical reaction. A reducing agent is thus oxidized when it loses electrons in the redox reaction. Reducing agents "reduce" oxidizing

Answer 2

A reducing agent (also called a reductant or reducer) is an element or compound that loses (or "donates") an electron to an electron recipient (oxidizing agent) in a redox chemical reaction. A reducing agent is thus oxidized when it loses electrons in the redox reaction.

OR

Reducing agent:

I) the substance which gives hydrogen for reduction is called reducing agent.

ii) the substance which removes oxygen is also called reducing agent.

Example:

Given in the picture... In this example, copper oxide is the oxidizing agent because copper oxide is giving the oxygen required for the oxidation of hydrogen.

Hydrogen is responsible for removing oxygen from copper oxide, therefore, hydrogen is the reducing agent here.
