(i). Sodium (Na) is oxidised as it gains oxygen and oxygen gets reduced.
(ii). Copper oxide (CuO) is reduced to copper (Cu) while hydrogen (H2) gets oxidised to water (H2O).
An oxidising agent is a substance which gains hydrogen or loses oxygen during a chemical reaction.
A reducing agent is a substance which gains oxygen or loses hydrogen during a chemical...
PCl5 can only act as an oxidizing agent. The highest oxidation state that P can show is +5. In PCl5, phosphorus is in its highest oxidation state (+5). However, it...
(i) In this reaction, sodium (Na) is changed into sodium oxide (Na2O). This is the addition of oxygen to sodittm. Since addition of oxygen is called oxidation, therefore, the substance...
i. In the given reaction, sodium gets oxidised to sodium oxide (Na2O) and oxygen gets reduced.
ii. In the given reaction, hydrogen getsoxidised to water and copper (II) oxide gets reduced...
