It is a reducing agent. It is well-known for the reduction of Au3+ forming Au nano particles. This is known as the citrate reduction method.

Is nitric acid an oxidising agent?
No. Hydrogen gas is generally a reducing agent.
In permanganate titration's why is nitric acid not used?
Nitric acid, being a strong oxidising agent, interferes with oxidising capacity of KMnO4 hence reducing accuracy of titration.
Is citric acid a good reducing agent?
I would say yes.
What will oxidizes the fastest copper nickel or silver?
NONE of them are oxidising agents, they are reducing in stead: Silver is the best reductor, lead the weakest of this trio.All metals are reducing (donating electrons), they are able to BE oxidised by an OXIDising agent (acceptor of electrons), like O2.
Is nitrous acid an oxidizing agent or reducing agent?
it is both oxidizing as well as reducing agent

What does hydrchloric acid do?
Hydrochloric acid can act as a Bronsted acid, an oxidizing agent and as a reducing agent.
Is sulphuric acid an oxdising or a reducing agent?
Sulfuric acid can act as both as an oxidizing agent as well as a reducing agent. It has hydrogen and sulfur which can be reduced, and oxygen which can be oxidized.
Why do some shampoo products have citric acid in them?
it depends on the shampoo, some of them use citric acid for the smell and most use it because citric acid is a very powerful cleaning agent, it destroys dirt.
Why is sulfuric acid added to sodium ethanedioate and hydrated ethanedioic acid?
to acidify the solution so that it can become a good oxidising agent
Is sodium bother mate a salt?
Yes. It is a salt of bromic acid- it is ionic, and a strong oxidising agent
Why nitric acid cannot prepare hydrogen?
Nitric acid cannot prepare hydrogen because it is a strong oxidizing agent. When nitric acid comes into contact with reducing agents like hydrogen, it undergoes a redox reaction where it gets reduced to nitrogen gas instead of producing hydrogen gas.
How do we neutralize the acid in our mouths?
Our saliva is a powerful neutralising agent, and will reduce the pH of an acid, such as citric acid (fruit)
