<span>For this reaction, oxidation number of Carbon in
CO would be +2 while oxidation number of carbon in CO2 would be +4 and so this
means that carbon has oxidized. Oxidation number of nitrogen in NO is +2. While
oxidation number of nitrogen in N2 is 0 so this means that nitrogen had reduced.
The reducing agent is the one which provides electrons by oxidizing itself so
in this case; CO is the reducing agent while the C in CO oxidized to produce
electrons. </span><span>I
am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query about and it will be able

Explanation:
Mg+O>MgO
Here the mg loses it electron and is oxidised and oxygen gains and is reduced.
Mg(2+)and O(2-)
Mg is a reducing agent it makes oxygen to be reduced while itself being oxidised and vice versa.
