The oxidizing agent is the one that is reduced in the reaction. In this reaction, the charge of Cu falls from +2 to zero charge (neutral atom in the right side). Hence, CuO is the oxidizing agent. The reducing agent, the one being oxidized is carbon from zero charge to +4. The answer is CuO.
Answer:
All liquid glow products depend on a chemical process known as CHEMILUMINESCENCE to produce their light. Chemiluminesence is a chemical reaction that causes a release of energy in the form of light. To produce this light the electrons in the chemicals become excited and rise to a higher energy level.
To utilise this process glowsticks contain two liquids; hydrogen peroxide and tert-butyl alcohol. When mixed together it is these liquids that create the glow. Fluorescent dyes are also used in the alcohol to alter the colour of the light emitted.
