Chemistry for Changing Times, Chapter 8, Problem 58AP

Concept introduction:

An oxidant or an oxidizing agent is a substance that gains electron/s and get reduced during the chemical reaction. Non-metals are oxidizing agents with respect to metals. If any element get oxidize its oxidation number increases.

A reductant or a reducing agent is a substance that loses electron/s and get oxidized during the chemical reaction. It is also recognized as electron donor. Metals are reducing agents with respect to metals.If any element get reduce its oxidation number decreases or become more negative.
Oxidation and reduction can also be defined in terms of gaining oxygen and hydrogen atoms such as, oxidation is gain of oxygen and reduction is gain of hydrogen and vice versa.
