Chapter 8, Problem 80AP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The oxidizing agent and the substance which is oxidized in the given reaction should be identified.

    Chemistry for Changing Times, Chapter 8, Problem 80AP , additional homework tip  1

Concept Introduction:

The atom of an element or the ion that gets reduced itself and oxidizes the other are called oxidizing agent. For example, chlorine gas Chemistry for Changing Times, Chapter 8, Problem 80AP , additional homework tip  2, here chlorine exhibits an oxidation number of zero, it can form chloride ion Chemistry for Changing Times, Chapter 8, Problem 80AP , additional homework tip  3and gets a negative charge. So, here reduction of Cl atom takes place and it can oxidize other species.

The atom of an element or the ion that gets oxidized itself and reduces the other are called reducing agent. For example, sodium metal Chemistry for Changing Times, Chapter 8, Problem 80AP , additional homework tip  4, here sodium exhibits an oxidation number of zero, it can form sodium ionChemistry for Changing Times, Chapter 8, Problem 80AP , additional homework tip  5and gets oxidized to +1 charge. So, here oxidation of Na takes place and it can reduce other species.
Also, addition of oxygen is oxidation and addition of hydrogen is reduction and vice versa.
