Answer:
Explanation:
Oxidation is the gain of oxygen.
Reduction is the loss of oxygen.
For example, in the extraction of iron from its ore:
Because both reduction and oxidation are occurring simultaneously, this is known as a redox reaction.
An oxidizing agent is substance which oxidizes something else. In the above example, the iron(III) oxide is the oxidizing agent. A reducing agent reduces something else. In the equation, the carbon monoxide is the reducing agent.
Oxidizing agents give oxygen to another substance.
Reducing agents remove oxygen from another substance.
