an outside agent that effects the speed or occurance of a reaction is called a catalyst.A catalyst just speeds up a reaction but doesn't take part in the reaction itself.

Zn plus H2SO4 as an oxidizing agent?
Zn alone is a reducing agent because it donates electrons during a reaction and H2SO4 alone is an oxidizing agent because it may donates atomic oxygen during the reaction but (Zn + H2SO4) mixture is a reducing agent because this mixture may produce atomic hydrogen during a reaction.
What is a reducing agent in chemistry?
A substance that is good at reducing another atom
What does the reducing agent in a redox reaction do?
reduces another atom
Is sulfur in this chemical reaction a oxidation agent or reduction agent in S plus H2 plus 2O2 --- H2SO4?
It is safer to claim it as neither - not least because the reaction would/does not work. Far safer to say that the sulphur is oxidised (which, you could argue, makes it a reducing agent).
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.
An outside agent that affects the speed or occurrence of a reaction?
An outside agent that affects the speed or occurrence of a reaction is called a catalyst. Catalysts work by providing an alternative reaction pathway with lower activation energy, allowing the reaction to happen more quickly. They are not consumed in the reaction and can be used repeatedly.
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.
How does the concentration of an oxidizing agent affect a redox reaction?
The higher the concentration of the oxidizing agent, the faster the oxidation rate, and the faster the reaction rate will be, and vice versa.

What is the reducing agent in a reaction of magnesium with oxygen?
This is oxygen.
What is weak reducing agent?
A reducing agent also known as reducer or reductant is the element or compound in oxidation reduction reaction. The reaction donates an electron to other species.
Zn plus H2SO4 as an oxidizing agent?
Zn alone is a reducing agent because it donates electrons during a reaction and H2SO4 alone is an oxidizing agent because it may donates atomic oxygen during the reaction but (Zn + H2SO4) mixture is a reducing agent because this mixture may produce atomic hydrogen during a reaction.

What are the side effects of call centre agent?
Frustration.
The story occurrence at owl creek bridge is ironic because?
The story occurrence at Owl Creek bridge is ironic because it is a small incident in a big war. In the story, Peyton was captured and hanged as an agent and spy.
What is carbon if it takes away the oxygen in a reaction?
