2Fe+ 6HBr ---> 2FeBr3 +3H2
Fe is a reducing agent is what that is true in equation above
This is because it oxidation state move from zero to positive three.Reducing agent is an element or compound that loses or donate an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction. Fe is oxidized since it loses electron in the redox reaction
