Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a reducing agent?
  • Step 1: Understand what a reducing agent is. A reducing agent is a substance that donates electrons to another substance in a chemical reaction.
  • Step 2: Identify hydrogen gas (H2). Hydrogen gas consists of two hydrogen atoms bonded together.
  • Step 3: Recognize that in redox reactions, reducing agents lose electrons. When hydrogen gas is involved in a reaction, it can lose electrons.
  • Step 4: Conclude that since hydrogen gas donates electrons, it acts as a reducing agent.
