I'm almost certain that it can be used as an oxidizing agent. It is not as strong persay as Potassium permanganate, but depending on to what extent you are oxidizing something, that may be a good thing.
Copper acetate does so I don't see why not.
No. Metals act as reducing agents, though copper is a rather weak reducer.
Fe +CuSO4---------FeSO4 +Cu.
Nitrogen is not an oxidizing agent.
The oxidizing agent is oxygen.
Cu is oxidized. The oxidation number goes from 0 in Cu to +2 in CuSO4. S is reduced. The oxidation number goes from +6 in H2SO4 to +4 in SO2. The oxidizing agent is H2SO4 since it causes Cu to be oxidized. The reducing agent is Cu since it causes S in H2SO4 to be reduced.
oxygen is the oxidizing agent in both corrosion and combustion
CuCl2
Fe +CuSO4---------FeSO4 +Cu.
Nitrogen is not an oxidizing agent.
The oxidizing agent is oxygen.
Sodium chloride is not an oxidizing agent.
it is both oxidizing as well as reducing agent

An oxidizing agent supplies oxygen, and a fuel consumes oxygen.
no
relationship between oxidation and oxidising agent in a redox reaction
An oxidizing agent oxidizes the reducing agent, while the reducing agent reduces the oxidizing agent. In simple terms, both processes occur simultaneously. Oxidizing is defined as: the gain of oxygen, loss of hydrogen or loss of electrons. E.g.: C + O2 -> CO2 In this case oxygen would be the oxidizing agent as it supplies oxygen to the carbon. Similarly carbon would be the reducing agent in this case.
