An oxidizing agent tends to release oxygen when the temperature rises over a certain point. Two major oxidizing agents of the cell are oxygen and ferric salts.

Why are halogens powerful oxidizing agents?
Oxidizing agents are those chemicals which take electrons from other molecules in a reaction. Halogen atoms all have seven electrons in their outermost valence atomic p orbital, and wish to have eight to complete the p orbital and be electronically stable. So, say in the case of chlorine, it will want to take two electrons to make two stable chloride ions: Cl2 + 2e- → 2 Cl- Where the 2 electrons (e-) come from the molecule(s) being oxidized.
2hcl plus ca(oh)2 oxidizing agent?
Neutralization reaction.2HCl + Ca(OH)2 ==> CaCl2 + 2H2OThis is NOT an oxidation-reduction reaction.
What is the difference between oxidizing agent and reducing agent?
The difference between the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent is that the oxidizing agent is the one that loses the electrons and the reducing agent gains the electrons.You can remember it easily because it's contradicting, and by the saying OIL RIG:Oxidized Is Lost Reduced Is Gained.
Which of the substances can act both as oxidising and reducing agent?
The terms "reducing agent" and "oxidizing agent" are relative. It seems that you already know this; that depending on the specific reaction, a given compound may be the reducing agent or the oxidizing agent, and in some reactions the same compound is both the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent. It is very important to remember that in an oxidization/reduction reaction, the reducing agent is oxidized and the oxidizing agent is reduced. Examples: 1) Aldehydes are one example of compounds that can act as reducing agents or oxidizing agents. As reducing agents, aldehydes can reduce Ag(I) in the form of [Ag(NH3)2]+ OH- to Ag metal. They can also reduce Cr(VI) to Cr(III) and Cu(II) to Cu(I). In each case, the aldehyde is oxidized to its corresponding carboxylic acid. As oxidizing agents, aldehydes (and ketones) can oxidize a hydride (H-) in sodium borohydride or lithium aluminumhydride to H+ as the aldehyde (or ketone) is reduced to an alcohol. Aldehydes and ketones are often used to form carbon-carbon bonds in aldol condensation reactions where a carbanion or an enolate ion attacks the carbonyl carbon of the aldehyde or ketone. In these reactions, the aldehyde or ketone is also reduced to an alcohol. 2) The nitrite anion is another example of a species that can serve as an oxidizing agent or a reducing agent in many reactions. Nitrite (formal charge of N+3) is readily oxidized to nitrate (formal charge of N+5) by the permanganate anion or it can be reduced all the way to ammonia (formal charge of N-3) by hydrogen sulfide. That's an impressive difference of six in the respective nitrogen oxidation states. Like aldehydes and ketones, nitrite can oxidize hydride to H+ in certain borohydride compounds in which nitrite is reduced to N2O, also known as laughing gas.
What is on the end of a match?
Strike-anywhere matches are composed of powdered glass to provide friction, phosphorus sulfide (P4S3), oxidizing agents which are held together with glue. Safety matches are made of potassium chlorate (KClO3,), sulfur (s), diatomite Ca(OH)2, silica (SiO2.nH2O), glue, starch, and either of these: zinc oxide (ZnO) or calcium carbonate (CaCO3).

What are the propeties of polysccharide and disaccharide?
Both can be hydrolized further.Polysaccharide are not sweet,cannot be chrystalized,not soluble in water,not reducing agents,are polymers Disaccharides are sweet,can be chrystalized,soluble in water,some are reducing and some are oxidizing agents
What is the uses of standard electrode potential?
1. Standard electrode potentials found to be good predictors of the taste of metals 2. Standard electrode potentials found to be good predictors of Strengths of Oxidizing and Reducing Agents
What is the strongest oxidizing agent of the following set FeO Fe2O3 Fe3O4 FeO4-2?
The strongest oxidizing agent of them is FeO4-2 ion, which is called Ferrate. Its oxidizing powers come from Iron in its +6 oxidation state. These ions are even stronger oxidizers than Permanganates or Nitrates.

Will there be a mysims agents 2 on wii?
There were plans for a second MySims Agents game, but it never came out as it was replaced by MySims SkyHeroes. There may still be a MySims Agents 2, but it's unlikely.

What are chemical similarities between carbon and the rest of its group?
The whole of the group has valence 4, that is the dioxides are all stable and familiar compounds. All but lead form tetrachlorides, and all form tetrafluorides. Tin and lead are metallic, though, and their chemistry is dominated by a secondary valence of 2, with the tetravalent compounds being strong oxidizing agents.
What is the major functional difference between animalcells and plant cells?
1) Plant cells have cell wall which is absent in animal cell. 2) Plant cell lack centrioles whereas animal cells have centrioles.
