oxidizing agents are those that readily undergo reduction. two of the common ones i can name are potassium permanganate and potassium dichromate. After oxidation takes place, permanganate changes from purple to pink or colorless and dichromate changes from orange to green.

Do chemoautotrophs gain energy by oxidizing or reducing substances in their environment?
Yes
Why is silver rarely used for such purpose?
Silver can be reactive, but only with a few substances. For instance, silver can become tarnished when it is oxidizing.
What are some substances that react easily with sugar?
Sugar is easily oxidized, so almost any oxidizing substance reacts with sugar. Acids of oxidized nonmetals, especially, react easily with sugar.
Why are carbon monoxide and ozone hazardous substances?
Ozone is a strong oxidizing agent.Carbon monoxide disturb the hemoglobin and the intake of oxygen in blood.
Why do substances get heavier when burnt?
its because when you burn something, its also known as 'oxidizing' it, and this adds oxygen to the chemical, therefor sometimes giving it more weight!
Substances that cause the oxidation of other substances are?
