What is the relationship between oxidizing and oxidizing agent?

An oxidizing agent is a substance that causes another substance to be oxidized. Oxidation refers to the loss of electrons by a substance, while reduction refers to the gain of electrons. In a redox reaction, the oxidizing agent itself gets reduced as it accepts electrons from the substance being oxidized.


Is Cu oxidized or reduced in CuO plus H2 yields Cu plus H2O?

Cu is oxidized. The oxidation number goes from 0 in Cu to +2 in CuSO4. S is reduced. The oxidation number goes from +6 in H2SO4 to +4 in SO2. The oxidizing agent is H2SO4 since it causes Cu to be oxidized. The reducing agent is Cu since it causes S in H2SO4 to be reduced.


Does an oxidizing agent become oxidized?

The term oxidation is named after oxygen, which is the most common oxidizing agent. Oxygen has a strong attraction for electrons, and in most chemical reactions it will take two electrons away from another atom (or from two atoms, such as in the case of the famous water molecule which is composed of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms). So when an atom loses one or more electrons, it is oxidized.


What is the equation for the oxidation of ethanoic anhydride by potassium permanganate?

Ethanoic anhydride can no longer be oxidized by any oxidizing agent.


Can H2 be oxidized?

Yes, hydrogen gas (H2) can be oxidized to form water (H2O) in the presence of an oxidizing agent. The oxidation reaction of hydrogen gas involves the loss of electrons.


Does the molecule that functions as a reducing agent in a oxidation-reduction reaction gain or lose electron?

A reducing agent loses electrons and is thereby oxidised.


What role play oxidising agent in a reaction?

An oxidizing agent causes oxidation by accepting electrons from the substance being oxidized. It facilitates the loss of electrons from one substance, which leads to the oxidation of that substance. In the process, the oxidizing agent itself is reduced.


What occurs to the reducing agent in a reduction reactions?

An element is REDUCED. By that, it means that an element of a compound or an element in itself has gained electron/s when the reaction occurs. You can find this out when you see a change in their oxidation number.


Can phenol be oxidized?

Yes. Phenol can be oxidized by hydrogen peroxide to form ortho and para benzenediol with the by product being water. Chromic acid can also oxidize phenol into quinones.


What happened to an atom when it gets oxidized?

Its oxidation state increases


What the loss of an electron is called?

When a molecule loses an electron, it is said to be oxidized. The process is reduction.


Define oxidation potential and reduction potential?

Oxidation potential measures the tendency of a substance to be oxidized, while reduction potential measures the tendency of a substance to be reduced. Both are measured in volts and indicate the strength of a substance's ability to gain or lose electrons in a redox reaction.
