QUESTION:

Use oxidation states to identify the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent in the redox reaction.

\(\mathrm N_2(g)+3~ \mathrm H_2(g) \longrightarrow 2~ \mathrm{NH_3}(g)\)

ANSWER:

Solution 60P :

Step 1:

An oxidizing agent is a chemical specie that removes one or more oxygen atom of other chemical substances in the redox chemical reaction and thus it gains electrons in a chemical reaction.

A reducing agent is a chemical specie that donates electrons to another chemical substance in a redox chemical reaction and thus it loses electrons in a chemical reaction.
