Marks: +1, -0

State the relationship between oxidation and oxidising agent in a redox reaction. Give an example of redox reaction showing the relationship between oxidation and oxidising agent.

Solution:

Oxidation is addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen. The oxidising agent causes oxidation of other compound by getting reduced itself.

\;\text " e.g., : "\; {\CuO}+ {\H}_2 → {\Cu}+ {\H}_2 {\O}

{\CuO}

is getting reduced to

{\Cu}

so it is an oxidising agent. It oxidises

{\H}_2

{\H}_2 {\O}
