Q: In redox reactions, what happens to the oxidation state of the reducing agent?
Solution:
The oxidation state of the reducing agent decreases as it donates electrons.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what a reducing agent is. A reducing agent is a substance that donates electrons in a chemical reaction.
Step 2: Know that when a reducing agent donates electrons, it undergoes a change in its oxidation state.
Step 3: Remember that oxidation state is a number that represents the total number of electrons an atom has gained or lost.
Step 4: When the reducing agent donates electrons, it loses negative charge, which means its oxidation state decreases.
Step 5: Conclude that in redox reactions, the oxidation state of the reducing agent decreases.
