Oxidation is a chemical change in which electrons are lost by an atom or group of atoms as a result gain of positive charge take place and oxidation number is increased.

Is hydrochloric acid a non-oxidizing acid?
No
What happens when hydrochloric acid and cooper mix?
Nothing. Copper does not react with non-oxidizing acids (such as hydrochloric acid) because it is a noble metal (meaning it resists corrosion when exposed to air). All noble metals are inert components when exposed to non-oxidizing acids.
Is nitrous acid an oxidizing agent or reducing agent?
it is both oxidizing as well as reducing agent
Nitric acid is used as oxidizing agent but nitrous acid used as both oxidizing agent and reducing agent why?
The pure compound is colorless, but older samples tend to acquire a yellow Nitric acid is also commonly used as a strong oxidizing agent.
What does hydrchloric acid do?
Hydrochloric acid can act as a Bronsted acid, an oxidizing agent and as a reducing agent.

Nitric acid is what type of acid?
Volatile, Monoprotic and Oxidizing acid
What does xenic mean?
-noun Chemistry. Xenic acid is the aqueous solution of xenon trioxide, a stable weak acid and strong oxidizing agent.

Why does chromic acid react with aldehydes?
Because chromic acid is an oxidizing agent.
Why most metal do not displace hydrogen from nitric acid?
Nitric acid is an oxidizing agent
Why sulfuric acid is not used while reaction of alcohol with KI?
In the presence of sulphuric acid (H2SO4), KI produces HI Since is an oxidizing agent, it oxidizes HI (produced in the reaction to I2). As a result, the reaction between alcohol and HI to produce alkyl iodide cannot occur. Therefore, sulphuric acid is not used during the reaction of alcohols with KI. Instead, a non-oxidizing acid such as H3PO4 is used.
Why is it that nitric acid is used in gmelin's test?
it acts as oxidizing agent.
What is the strongest oxidizing agent in a solution of nitric acid?
NO3- is the strongest oxidizing agent because it looses an electron in order to become HNO3
