QUESTION:

For the complete redox reactions given here, (i) break down each reaction into its half-reactions; (ii) identify the oxidizing agent; (iii) identify the reducing agent. (a) 2Sr 1 O2 2SrO (b) 2Li 1 H2 2LiH (c) 2Cs 1 Br2 2CsBr (d) 3Mg 1 N2 Mg3N2

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 5

Oxidizing agents are species that gains electrons and gets reduced in a chemical reaction. There are also termed as electron acceptors. Some examples of oxidizing agents are nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide.

Reducing agents are species that loses electrons and gets oxidized in a particular reaction. These are termed as electron donors. Some examples of reducing agents are HCl and formic acid.
