Which can be said about the oxidizing agent in an oxidation – reduction reaction?Question 10Answera.It is reducedb.It is oxidizedc.It loses electron(s)d.Its charge increases

During an oxidation process in an oxidation-reduction reaction, does the species oxidized gain or lose electrons? Select the single best answer.

For the following reaction, identify the element that was oxidized, the element that was reduced, and the oxidizing agent. Give an explanation for each answer.

In the following chemical reaction, which substance is the oxidizing agent and which is the reducing agent?PbO(s)  +  C(s)  →  Pb(s)  +  CO(g)oxidizing agent: C CO Pb PbOreducing agent: C CO Pb PbO

Is it possible to have a reaction in which oxidation occurs and reduction does not.Question 2Answera.Falseb.True

ssessment5. What is reduction?Increase in oxidation number and gain of electrons.Increase in oxidation number and loss of electrons.Decrease in oxidation number and gain of electrons.Decrease in oxidation number and loss of electrons.
