In the reaction ( N_2 + 3H_2 \rightarrow 2NH_3 ), hydrogen gas (( H_2 )) acts as the reducing agent. This is because it donates electrons to nitrogen, reducing its oxidation state. As a result, nitrogen is reduced from an oxidation state of 0 in ( N_2 ) to -3 in ( NH_3 ), while hydrogen is oxidized from an oxidation state of 0 in ( H_2 ) to +1 in ( NH_3 ).

What is the reducing agent in the following balanced equation N2 plus 3H2 -- 2NH3?
As a rule of thumb, if elemental hydrogen is in a reaction and it's NOT reacting with a metal, it's the reducing agent.
Which substance is the reducing agent in this reaction 2 KMnO4 plus 3Na2 SO3 plus H2 O 2MnO2 plus 3Na2 SO4 plus 2K OH?
The ion MnO4 is reduced toMnO2 and sulfur is oxidized to ion sulfate. Sulfite is the reducing agent.
Which substance is the oxidizing agent in this reaction FeO plus CO and Fe plus CO2?
The ferrous oxide is the oxdant.
Determine which element is oxidized and which is reduced CuSO4 plus Mg- Cu plus MgSO4?
In the reaction between CuSO4 and Mg, magnesium (Mg) is oxidized while copper (Cu) is reduced. Magnesium loses electrons to form Mg²⁺ ions, indicating oxidation, while copper ions (Cu²⁺) gain electrons to form elemental copper, indicating reduction. Thus, Mg is the reducing agent and Cu²⁺ is the oxidizing agent in this reaction.
What is the oxidizing agent in the following reaction CH4 plus 2O2 equals CO2 plus H2O?
The oxidizing agent in the reaction CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O is oxygen (O2). Oxygen is the substance that is gaining electrons and causing the methane (CH4) to oxidize.
What is the reducing agent in the following balanced equation N2 plus 3H2 -- 2NH3?

Ca plus Br and gt CaBr2 what is the reducing agent?
In this reaction, Br is the reducing agent because it is being oxidized from Br- to Br2, thereby causing the reduction of Ca from Ca to Ca2+.
Which substance is the reducing agent in this reaction 2 KMnO4 plus 3Na2 SO3 plus H2 O 2MnO2 plus 3Na2 SO4 plus 2K OH?
The ion MnO4 is reduced toMnO2 and sulfur is oxidized to ion sulfate. Sulfite is the reducing agent.
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).
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 the reducing agent in CO plus H2 equals C plus H2O?
H2 - hydrogen.
2br- plus so4-2 plus 4h plus -------br2 plus so2 plus 2h2o in this reaction what is the oxidising agent?
S in (SO4)-2 has a charge of +6, in SO2 S has a charge of +4. To go from +6 to +4 you must gain two electrons. The (SO4)-2 is reduced (reduction is gaining electrons). Therefore it reduces the 2br-, so (SO4)-2 is the reducing agent
What are the reducing and oxidizing agents of the reaction FeCl plus SnCl?
In this reaction, FeCl2 is the oxidizing agent because it causes another species to be reduced (lose electrons), while SnCl2 is the reducing agent because it causes another species to be oxidized (gain electrons).
Which substance is the oxidizing agent in this reaction FeO plus CO and Fe plus CO2?
The ferrous oxide is the oxdant.
What is the reducing agent in C plus 2Cl2 equals CCl4?
H2 + Cl2 --> 2HCl Think of it like this. H2 begins with two electrons, Cl2 begins with 14 (it is diatomic and originally has 7 electrons, so 7 + 7 = 14). The reducing agent is the one being oxidized (you need to remember that!) and if something is being oxidized, it is going from having more electrons to less electrons. 2HCl has 16 electrons (where H has two and Cl has fourteen), so, unless there is a charge on any of these compounds that you did not include in your question, no, Cl is not the reducing agent.
Determine which element is oxidized and which is reduced CuSO4 plus Mg- Cu plus MgSO4?
In the reaction between CuSO4 and Mg, magnesium (Mg) is oxidized while copper (Cu) is reduced. Magnesium loses electrons to form Mg²⁺ ions, indicating oxidation, while copper ions (Cu²⁺) gain electrons to form elemental copper, indicating reduction.
