Identify which one is the reducing agent in this reaction

Chemistry
1 answer:
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Na.

Explanation:

  • The oxidation-reduction reaction contains a reductant and an oxidant (oxidizing agent).
  • An oxidizing agent, or oxidant, gains electrons and is reduced in a chemical reaction. Also known as the electron acceptor, the oxidizing agent is normally in one of its higher possible oxidation states because it will gain electrons and be reduced.
  • A reducing agent (also called a reductant or reducer) is an element (such as calcium) or compound that loses (or "donates") an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction.

  • For the reaction:

<em>2Na + S → Na₂S.</em>

<em></em>

Na is oxidized to Na⁺ in (Na₂S) (loses 1 electron). "reducing agent".

S is reduced to S²⁻ in (Na₂S) (gains 2 electrons). "oxidizing agent".
