The reducing agent is oxidized during a redox reaction

The oxidation-reduction reaction or abbreviated as Redox is a chemical reaction in which there is a change in oxidation number

3 basic theories explain this Redox concept:

The oxidation reaction is the binding of a substance with oxygen. (O₂)

For example:

2SO₂ + O₂ ----> 2SO₃

The reduction reaction is the release of oxygen from a substance.

For example:

2CuO → 2Cu + O₂

Oxidation is an electron release event

Example:

2F ---> 2Fe³⁺ + 6e⁻

The reduction is an electron capture event

Example:

3O₂ + 6e⁻ ---> 3O²⁻

Oxidation is an increase/increase in oxidation number, while reduction is a decrease/decrease in oxidation number.

In this reaction, it is also known

Reducing agents are substances that experience oxidation

The oxidizer is a substance that is reduced

Let's look at the answer choices

This statement is wrong because the reducing agent undergoes oxidation

This statement is true

The statement is wrong because the oxidation number of the oxidized compound will increase

The statement is wrong because the reducing agent releases electrons

So the correct statement is B The reducing agent is oxidized

chemical reactions are an oxidation-reduction reaction

Keywords: oxidation, reduction, The oxidation number

the answer would be b i believe

the dissolution of polymer can be thermodynamically described in 2 steps.
