Question

identify the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent for Ca(s)+Fe2+(aq)→Ca2+(aq)+Fe(s)

Answer 1

Answer:

Ca reducing agent

Fe2+ Oxidizing agent

Explanation:

Ca ------> Ca2+ +2electrons.

Calcium loses two electrons and oxidises itself and reduces others so Ca is a reducing agent.

Fe2+ +2electrons ------> Fe

Fe 2+ reduces itself by gaining electron and oxidizes other so Fe2+ is Oxidizing agent.
