The redox reaction is as follows
3Ca + 2Cr³⁺ --> 3Ca²⁺ + 2Cr
in the oxidation reaction the species donates electrons and becomes oxidised.
the oxidised species donates electrons to the other species and reduces the other species hence its called the reducing agent as it reduces the other species. the oxidised species' oxidation number increases.
in the reduction reaction, the species takes in electrons and becomes electrons and its called the oxidising agent as it takes in electrons from the oxidised species thus oxidising the other species. the reduced species' oxidation number decreases.

in this case , Ca becomes oxidised
Ca --> Ca²⁺ + 2e
oxidation number of Ca increases from 0 to +2. since it reduces Cr from Cr³⁺ to Cr, Ca is called the reducing agent

hence answer is Ca, its the reducing agent

Particles that are smaller and have ____ generally dissolve faster.(1 point)
saw5 [17]

Answer:

For many solids dissolved in liquid water, the solubility increases with temperature. The increase in kinetic energy that comes with higher temperatures allows the solvent molecules to more effectively break apart the solute molecules that are held together by intermolecular attractions.

How is light energy converted to chemical energy?
ipn [44]

Answer:

Photosynthesis is the process in which light energy is converted to chemical energy in the form of sugars. In a process driven by light energy, glucose molecules (or other sugars) are constructed from water and carbon dioxide, and oxygen is released as a byproduct.
