Whether something is an oxidizing or reducing agent is not dependent on whether it is an acid or a base. Some bases can act as oxidizing agents while others are reducing agents. Some can act as either oxidizers or reducers depending on the reaction.

What does fluorine and oxygen have in common?
They are both strong oxidizing agents, or, in other words, strongly electronegative.
Is propane an oxidizing agent?
No it is not. Propane can be used as fuel during oxidation reaction however it is not an oxidizing agent. In a redox reaction such as combustion, propane acts as a reducing agent. Common agents are O2 and O3.
Is nitrogen oxidizing agent?
no
Is nitrogen an oxidizing agent or a reducing agent?
Reducing
What is the strongest oxidizing agent of the following set FeO Fe2O3 Fe3O4 FeO4-2?
The strongest oxidizing agent of them is FeO4-2 ion, which is called Ferrate. Its oxidizing powers come from Iron in its +6 oxidation state. These ions are even stronger oxidizers than Permanganates or Nitrates.
Are antiseptics oxidizing agents?
Not necessary, but most of the oxidizing agents are antiseptic
What is the effect of replacing iodine with other oxidizing agents?
The effect of replacing iodine with other oxidizing agents is that the substance being stained will not be stained. Iodine is the only oxidizing agent to dye the material.
Are organic matters oxidizing agents?
No
What is the definition for oxidizing agents?
The meaning of oxidizing is generally able to oxydate, to cause an oxydation.
2 major oxidizing agents of cell?
An oxidizing agent tends to release oxygen when the temperature rises over a certain point. Two major oxidizing agents of the cell are oxygen and ferric salts.
How does HNO3 acts as a oxidizing agent?
what is role of iodine in grignard reaction
Substances that cause the oxidation of other substances are?
oxidizing agents
Strengths of oxidizing and reducing agents?
One way to quantify whether a substance is a strong oxidizing agent or a strongreducing agent is to use the oxidation-reduction potential or redox potential. Strong oxidizing agents have low electron-transfer potential.
Are alkali metal elements strong oxidizing agents?
Yes, it is true.
What oxidizing agents can be used to oxidize alcohols?
Ch3-coh-ch3
Why is there problem with chromium as oxidizing agents in chemistry?
Because Chromium is a metal and really wants to be a reducing agent. I can not think of a scenario where it would be an oxidizing agent
Which compounds are used as the oxidizing and reducing reagents in Ryobi batteries?
Oxidizing agents for Ryobi batteries include potassium nitrate, halogens and nitric acid. Reducing agents include sulfite compounds, earth metals and formic acid.
