Reducing
no
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.
Potassium permanganate is known as an oxidizing agent.
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.
No. Cesium reacts with a number of nonmetals, bu not with other metals or metalloids. Cesium is a powerful reducing agent and will react strongly with oxidizing substances.
it is both oxidizing as well as reducing agent
Nitrogen is not an oxidizing agent.
no
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.
oxygen is the oxidizing agent in both corrosion and combustion
No. Oxygen is a strong oxidizing agent.
No, lithium is a strong reducing agent.
No. Oxygen is a strong oxidizing agent.
I is the strongest reducing agent since I is the weakest oxidizing agent among the halogens. This is because the strength of oxidizing agent increases down the group.
When H2O2 serves as an oxidizing agent, the oxygen is reduced to H2O. When H2O2 serves as a reducing agent, the oxygen is oxidized to O2 and bubbles are noticed.
ferrous ion act as reducing agent as it will be oxidized into ferric
reducing agent because it has room to gain electrons so it will be oxidized by an oxidizing agent. It is in the reduced form and can reduce other molecules by accepting their electrons. Therefore, NADH is the reducing agent and NAD+ is the oxidizing agent
