MCQ
KMnO4​ and K2​Cr2​O7​ are _____agents and Na2​S2​O7​ is ______ agent.
  • A
    Reducing, oxydising.
  • B
    Oxydising, reducing.
  • C
    Reducing, reducing.
  • D
    Oxydising, oxydising.

Answer

  1. Oxydising, reducing.

Explanation:

An oxidizing agent (oxidant, oxidizer) is a substance that has the ability to oxidize other substances (cause them to lose electrons).

KMnO4​, K2​Cr2​O7​ are oxidizing agent.

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. Since the reducing agent is losing electrons, it is said to have been oxidized.

Na2​S2​O3​ is a reducing agent.
