Interpretation: The oxidation and reduction in oxidizing and reducing agent needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction: A Redox reaction leads to oxidation and reduction processes simultaneously.
Oxidation is the process that is involved in the loss of electrons and oxidized to cation whereas reduction is the process that is involved in the gain of electrons and reduced to anion.

Answer to Problem 16A
Oxidizing agent − Reduce
Reducing agent − oxidize
Explanation of Solution
Redox reactions are combination of reduction and oxidation process.
The substance, which is oxidized (oxidation state increases) is called as reducing agent. On the contrary, the substance, which gets reduce (oxidation state decrease), is called as oxidizing agent.
Oxidizing agent − Reduce
Reducing agent − oxidize

The reaction usually follows an E1 mechanism. The SN1 pathway is suppressed by using a strong acid whose conjugate base is a poor nucleophile. Further, heating the reaction mixture causes a greater increase in the rate of E1 compared to the rate of Sy1. 3rd attempt h Draw curved arrow(s) to show how the alcohol reacts with phosphoric acid.
