Q
Q: In which of the following reactions does hydrogen act as a reducing agent?
Solution:
In the reaction H2 + CuO → Cu + H2O, hydrogen reduces copper(II) oxide to copper.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Identify the reactants in the reaction: H2 (hydrogen) and CuO (copper(II) oxide).
Step 2: Understand what a reducing agent does: A reducing agent donates electrons to another substance, causing that substance to be reduced.
Step 3: Determine what happens to CuO in the reaction: CuO gains electrons from H2 and is converted to Cu (copper).
Step 4: Recognize that since H2 donates electrons to CuO, it is acting as a reducing agent.
Step 5: Conclude that in the reaction H2 + CuO → Cu + H2O, hydrogen reduces copper(II) oxide to copper.
