Question
2Cu2S + 3O2 → 2Cu2O+2 SO2
In this reaction which substance is getting oxidised and which substance is getting reduced? Name reducing agent and oxidising agent.

Answer

Since, oxygen is being added to Cu, therefore Cu2S is oxidised to Cu2O and the other reactant i.e. O2 is getting reduced. Hence, Cu2S is a reducing agent and O2 is an oxidising agent.
