Question

Which among the following hydries is not a reducing agent?
a. H20
b. H2S
c. H2Te
d. H2Se

Answer 1

H20 is oxidizing agent that's reason it is not a reducing agent

Answer 2

$H_2O$ among the hydrides is not the reducing agent.

Explanation:

• Since water is neither a strong oxidant nor a strong reducing agent, it can be either on. Depending on the substance it is reacting with.
• In the presence of a strong reducing agent, water acts as an oxidizing agent. Yet, in the presence of a strong oxidizing agent, it becomes a reducing agent.
• For example, water will reduce fluorine to hydrogen fluoride (and itself be oxidized to oxygen) according to the following equation:

                                             $2F_2 + 2H_2O \rightarrow O_2 + 4HF$

• On the other hand, water will oxidize metallic sodium into sodium hydroxide (and itself be reduced to hydrogen) as the following reaction shows:-          

                                          $2Na + 2H_2O \rightarrow H_2 + 2NaOH$
