Oxidising agents
and
reducing agent
Submitted to – Mrs. Chetna mam
From- Himanshu Arora
Class-10 B
Oxidation means the addition of
oxygen to a substance and the removal
of hydrogen from a substance is called
oxidation.
It means the addition of hydrogen to a
substance and the removal of oxygen to
a substance is called reduction.
It is reaction in
which both oxidation
and reduction take
place simultaneously.
 Cuo + H2 Cu + H2O
H2S + Cl2 S + 2HCl
The substance which gives oxygen for
oxidation and the substance which
remove the hydrogen is called
oxidising agents.
The substance which give
hydrogen for reduction and
the substance which remove
oxygen is called reducing
agents.
ZnO + C Zn + CO
Substance oxidised – C
Substance reduced – ZnO
Oxdising agent – ZnO
Reducing agent - C
MnO2 + 4HCl MnCl2 + Cl2 + 2H2O
Substance Oxidised – 4HCl
Substance reduced – MnO2
Reducing Agent – 4HCl
Oxidising Agent – MnO2s
