∙ 11y agoIt reduces, and therefore it is oxidized. That means it gives up electrons so that it 'reduces' the charge on another atom by making it more negative. In the process, its own charge is made more positive, which means it was oxidized.

What does the reducing agent in a redox reaction do?
reduces another atom
What is a reducing agent in chemistry?
A substance that is good at reducing another atom
Difference between acid base titration and redox titration?
Acid base titration involves neutralization reaction between an acid and a base. whereas redox titration involves redox reaction between an oxidizing agent and reducing agent.
Which element is the reducing agent in a redox reaction?
The reactant that has the atom that gets oxidized
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.

Is propane an oxidizing agent?
No it is not. Propane can be used as fuel during oxidation reaction however it is not an oxidizing agent. In a redox reaction such as combustion, propane acts as a reducing agent. Common agents are O2 and O3.
Can nickel be considered a reducing agent in a reaction containing nickel atoms and silver ions?
I believe you're talking about redox electroplating in a salt medium. If that's the case, then nickel is in fact the reducing agent. Reducing agent loses electrons, oxidizing agent gains.
The molecule that functions as the reducing agent in a oxidation-reduction reaction?
The reactant that reduces another atom.
