Answer:
Hydrogen
Explanation:
A reducing agent is a substance which gives up its electrons to become oxidized. Generally, metals are oxidized (reducing agents) while non-metals are reduced (oxidizing agents).
However, hydrogen which is a non-metal is usually oxidized in the presence of stronger oxidizing non-metals such as fluorine and oxygen.
Hydrogen thus, acts as a reducing agent by giving up its electrons to become oxidized. Even though among all non-metals, Hydrogen has the greatest potential to be oxidized, it is a poor reducing agent compared to reactive metals.
Imagine a chemist is in the lab and trying to make some chemical reactions happen. In one reaction she reacts chemicals in an exothermic reaction and there is an increase in entropy. A second chemical reaction she is trying to run is endothermic and there is a decrease in entropy. Which of the two reactions is more likely to occur and why?
D. action force and reaction forces are stated in his law
