**Question**: Identify the oxidizing agent and reducing agent in the following reaction.\[2Al(s) + 3H_2SO_4(aq) \rightarrow Al_2(SO_4)_3(aq) + 3H_2(g)\]a) Al is the reducing agent and H₂SO₄ is the oxidizing agent.b) H₂SO₄ is the reducing agent and Al is the oxidizing agent.**Explanation**: This problem requires understanding of basic redox (reduction-oxidation) chemistry principles. In a redox reaction, the reducing agent (reductant) donates electrons and gets oxidized, while the oxidizing agent (oxidant) accepts electrons and gets reduced. In this reaction, aluminum (Al) is oxidized (loses electrons), whereas hydrogen sulfate (H₂SO₄) is reduced (gains electrons). Therefore, Al acts as the reducing agent and H₂SO₄ acts as the oxidizing agent.**Answer**: a) Al is the reducing agent and H₂SO₄ is the oxidizing agent.
