Is iodide an oxidising agent?
No iodide is a reducing (the opposite of oxidizing) agent at least with potassium iodide.
Is iodine reducing agent?
no its not, the iodide ion is
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.
What makes hydrogen iodide?
Hydrogen Iodide is a bond involving one hydrogen atom and one iodide atom.
Is nitric acid an oxidising agent?
No. Hydrogen gas is generally a reducing agent.

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.
How is it possible for hydrogen peroxide to be both an oxidizing agent and reducing agent?
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.
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
Why phosphoric acid is not reducing agent?
It is an oxy acid which may act as an oxidizing agent, reducing agents are those which may produce atomic hydrogen or hydride ion.
