No iodide is a reducing (the opposite of oxidizing) agent at least with potassium iodide.
When some substances are oxidised or reduced, there is a colour change.Testing for a reducing agent:An oxidising agent is a substance that causes another substance to be oxidised & is itself reduced. Acidified potassium manganate (VII) is an example of one. While it oxidises other substances, the manganate ion is reduced (because the oxidation state decreases showing that reduction is occuring) :MnO4- --> Mn2+oxdations state:+VII+2colour:PinkColourlessSo, to see if an unknown substance is a reducing agent, add acidifies potassium manganate (VII) to see if the pink colour fades. If it does, you know the unknown substance was a reducing agent, because it caused reduction.Testing for an oxidising agent:A reducing agent is a substance which causes reduction, but is oxidised itself. Potassium iodide is a powerful reducing agent. While it reduces other substances, the iodide ion is oxidised (because the oxidising state increases) resulting in a colour change:2I- -->I2Oxidising state:-10 (the oxidising state of a diatomic molecule is 0)Colour:ColourlessRed-brownSo, to see if an unknown substance is an oxidising agent, add potassium iodide to see if a red-brown colour appears. If it does, you know your unknown substance is an oxidising agent because it caused a reduction
Strong Oxid. Agent bcs Reduction Potential is too high.
KMnO4 and H2SO4 are oxidising agents. Oxidising agents are hungry for electrons...
NO2(g)+SO2(g)-->NO(g)+SO3(g) here NO2 act as a oxidising agent
No. Hydrogen gas is generally a reducing agent.
Potassium Iodide is used as a test for oxidising agent. When mixed with the oxidising agent it will turn brown.Example: FluorineIodide is yellow in colour.
Fluorine is the strongest oxidising agent.
Magnesium is the oxidising agent.

relationship between oxidation and oxidising agent in a redox reaction

As sulphurib acid an oxidising agent therefore it oxidis iodin anions to iodioe aiatomic gas so it leads to the failure at product
NO2(g)+SO2(g)-->NO(g)+SO3(g) here NO2 act as a oxidising agent
Hypo is a reducing agent when combined with Na.
Reducing
An Oxidising agent.
