Question

ill type in what my question is i just dont want to write it out incase no one is availablehi! how can I identify the reducing and oxidizing agent of 2Ba(s)+H2SO4(aq) > H2(g) + BaSO4(s)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to identify the reducing and the oxidizing agent

The reducing agent is the one that undergoes oxidation while the oxidizing agent is the one that undergoes reduction

While oxidation refers to the loss of electrons, reduction is the gain of electrons

By looking at the componets that gained or loss electrons,we can idenify the oxidizing or reducing agent

From what we have in the guestion, sulfuric acid is the oxidiszing agent as it is the one that undergoes reduction.
