How do you determine an oxidizing agent within a reaction?
1 Answer
The one whose FORMAL
Explanation:
Strong oxidizing agents include
During the oxidation, these reagents are conceived to ACCEPT electrons from the species that is oxidized, and this transfer may be formalized in the following reactions:
Are charge and mass balanced here? If not, they should be. Difluorine, dioxygen, permanganate, and dichromate, are all potent oxidizing agents, and their function as oxidizing agents results in reduced metal ions.
