Q: In a redox reaction, what happens to the oxidation state of the reducing agent? (2021)
Solution:
The oxidation state of the reducing agent decreases as it loses electrons during the reaction.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what a redox reaction is. A redox reaction involves the transfer of electrons between two substances.
Step 2: Identify the reducing agent in the reaction. The reducing agent is the substance that donates electrons.
Step 3: Recognize that when the reducing agent donates electrons, it undergoes a change in its oxidation state.
Step 4: Know that the oxidation state is a number that represents the total number of electrons an atom has gained or lost.
Step 5: Conclude that as the reducing agent loses electrons, its oxidation state decreases.
