      Identify the oxidizing agent (oxidant) in the following reactions. (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f)

    Answer:

      (a) In this reaction, HCI has been oxidized to CI2 (Removal of H) andhas been reduced to (Removal of O). Hence,is the oxidizing agent (oxidant) (b) Mg has been oxidized to(Addition of O). Hence, O2 is the oxidant. (c) This reaction occurs as Herehas gained two electrons to form Cu. Hence,has been reduced to Cu. But Zn has donated two electrons to form. Hence, Zn has been oxidized to. Thus, is the oxidizing agent. (d) Ca has been oxidized to(Addition of oxygen), whereashas been reduced to V. Hence,is the oxidant. (e) Fe has been oxidized towhereas H2O has been reduced to Hg. Hence, H2O is the oxidant. (f)has been reduced to Cu whereas H2 has been oxidized to H2O. Hence,is the oxidant.
