1. Identify the reducing agent in the following reactions.
\(2H_2\) + \(O_2\) → \(2H_2O\)
 
A reducing agent is an element that undergoes (becomes oxidised).
 
\(2H_2\) + \(O_2\) → \(2H_2O\)
 
In the above reaction, hydrogen \(2H_2\)​ is oxidized to water \(2H_2​O\) by gaining an oxygen atom. Hence, hydrogen \(2H_2\)​ is a as it undergoes oxidation.
 
2. Identify the oxidising agent (oxidant) in the following reaction.
\(3Fe\) + \(4H_2O\) → \(Fe_3O_4\) + \(4H_2\)
  
An oxidising agent (oxidant) is a substance that another substance (by losing electrons or removing hydrogen or adding oxygen, or increasing oxidation state) while also being reduced.
 
\(3Fe\) + \(4H_2O\) → \(Fe_3O_4\) + \(4H_2\)
 
In the above reaction, water (\(H_2​O\)) is the ; it oxidises iron (\(Fe\)) to form iron(III) oxide (\(Fe_3​O_4\)​) and hydrogen (\(H_2\)​).
