Which ELEMENT is a reducing agent?
Hydrogen is a reducing element, or reducing agent. More specifically, atomic Hydrogen, ie; singular Hydrogen atom, because it does not have a pair of electrons, only one, and therefor will accept or gain an electron to fill its valency of 2 electrons, a covalent bond. This type of Hydrogen is sometimes refered to as nascent Hydrogen-or newly formed Hydrogen from a chemical reaction to produce this atomic Hydrogen. Hope this helps.
What is the reducing agent in the following balanced equation N2 plus 3H2 -- 2NH3?
As a rule of thumb, if elemental hydrogen is in a reaction and it's NOT reacting with a metal, it's the reducing agent.
When hydrogen reacts with metal-oxides it act as reducing agent or a oxidizing agent?
It reduces the oxides acting as a reducing agent.
Is it possible to use hydrogen as a reducing agent for ion oxide to get the metal iron?
No. On the contrary - iron will reduce hydrogen oxide to hydrogen
What is the reducing agent in a reaction of magnesium with oxygen?
This is oxygen.
What is the purpose of sodium hydrogen carbonate solution in the non-reducing sugar reaction?
fire extingusher

It reduces the oxides acting as a reducing agent.
What reaction causes when sodium reacts with hydrogen?
Liquid sodium reacts with a rapid flow of hydrogen gas at 350 degrees F to produce the ionic compound sodium hydride (Na+ H-) which has the same structure as NaCl. It is a base and a reducing agent.
Zn plus H2SO4 as an oxidizing agent?
Zn alone is a reducing agent because it donates electrons during a reaction and H2SO4 alone is an oxidizing agent because it may donates atomic oxygen during the reaction but (Zn + H2SO4) mixture is a reducing agent because this mixture may produce atomic hydrogen during a reaction.
What is the Difference between nascent and molecular hydrogen?
Scientifically, nascent refers to a substance at the point at which it forms. In a chemical reaction, such as zinc reacting with sulphuric acid, individual hydrogen atoms will form but VERY quickly react with another atom to give H2 molecules. This is the only common situation in which atomic hydrogen exists, even if very fleetingly.
Why is hydrogen used in metallurgy?
As hydrogen is a reducing agent it is used in metallurgy
What is equivalent weight of a reducing agent?
Molecular weight/basicity
Iron ore is reduced to iron by a reaction with?
A reducing agent like Hydrogen(H2), Carbon(C), Carbon monoxide(CO) or Ammonia(NH3)
What is a reducing agent in chemistry?
A substance that is good at reducing another atom
Why does non reducing sugar change colour when you add hydrochloric acid and hydrogen carbonate crystals?
The non-reducing sugar changes color when hydrochloric acid and hydrogen carbonate crystals because the non-reducing sugar gets oxidized as it gives an electron to the reducing agent.
