To find for the oxidizing agent, first let us write the half reactions of this complete chemical reaction:

Ca = Ca2+ + 2e- <span>
2 H+ + 2e- = H2</span>

 

The oxidizing agent would be the substance of the element that is reduced. We know that an element is reduced when an electron is added to it. In this case, the element being reduced is H. Therefore the oxidizing agent is HNO3.

 

Answer:

<span>HNO3</span>

Answer:

Nitric acid is an oxidizing agent in the given reaction.

Explanation:

Oxidizing agents : Agents which oxidize other substance and itself gets reduced. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

Reducing agents : Agents which reduces the other substance and itself gets oxidized. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

In the given reaction;

Ca(s)+2HNO_3(aq)\rightarrow Ca(NO_3)_2(aq)+H_2(g)

Oxidizing agent in the above reaction is a nitric acid which oxidizes calcium metal into calcium ionCa^{2+}

Ca\rightarrow Ca^{2+}+2e^-

Here calcium atom is undergoing oxidation reaction which is the reaction in which an atom looses its electrons and its oxidation state increases.

How can you determine the number of shells in an atom of a certain element, based
netineya [11]

Answer:  At some point in your chemistry education, you may have been introduced to the song “The Elements in which Tom Lehrer does a rapid

fire musical rendition of all the elements' names. Like me, you may even have been offered the opportunity to memorize this song for extra credit. If so, it’s possible that you still remember the names of all the elements, which is an impressive feat—not to mention a fun trick to pull out at parties.
