Question

Write an example of redox teaction showing the relationship between oxidation and oxidizing agent ?

Answer 1

Oxidised substance is the substance which takes oxygen from the oxidising agent and gets oxidised. For Example:


So, in this above reaction, CH is getting oxidised, and O is the oxidising agent. In the redox reaction, oxidised substance and the oxidising agent react with each other. 

Answer 2

Hi there !!

Oxidation :-

Addition of oxygen
OR
Removal of Hydrogen



Reduction:-
Addition of Hydrogen
OR
Removal of Oxygen

During oxidation , a substance gains oxygen or loses hydrogen.
During reduction , a substance gains hydrogen or loses oxygen

Oxidising agent undergoes reduction [ addition of hydrogen OR, removal of oxygen ]

Reducing agent undergoes oxidation [ addition of oxygen OR, removal of hydrogen
]
An oxidising agent oxidises other substances.
A reducing agent reduces other substances.

Lets take the example of Copper oxide (CuO)
When we pass hydrogen gas through it , we get water and copper [ displacement reaction ]

CuO + H₂ --------> Cu + H₂O

Here ,
CuO is getting reduced to Cu
H₂ is getting oxidised to H₂O

Here ,
Oxidising agent is CuO
Reducing agent is H₂

SO , we can conclude that :-
1) The substance getting oxidised is the same as reducing agent and the substance getting reduced is same as the oxidising agent.

Note :-
For writing agents [ reducing and oxidising ]and substances getting oxidised and reduced we should make use of only "reactants" and not products .

Hope this Helps You !!
