![### Oxidizing Agents in Chemical Reactions - Educational Example
**Question:**
Which molecule in the reaction below is the oxidizing agent?
\[ 2 \, \text{C}_2\text{H}_6(\text{g}) + 7 \, \text{O}_2(\text{g}) \rightarrow 4 \, \text{CO}_2(\text{g}) + 6 \, \text{H}_2\text{O}(\text{g}) \]
**Options:**
- \( \text{H}_2\text{O} \)
- \( \text{C}_2\text{H}_6 \)
- None
- \( \text{O}_2 \)
- \( \text{CO}_2 \)
**Instructions:**
Please select the correct answer from the options provided and click on "Submit Answer." If you need to attempt the question again, you can click on "Try Another Version." Note that you have 1 item attempt remaining.
**Additional Resources:**
