Identify the oxidising agent (oxidant) in the following reaction.
\(CuO\) + \(H_2\) → \(Cu\) + \(H_2O\)
  
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.
 
\(CuO\) + \(H_2\) → \(Cu\) + \(H_2O\)
 
In the above reaction, the is a copper oxide (\(CuO\)). Copper's oxidising state has changed from \(+2\) to \(0\) in the reactants and products. \(CuO\) acts as an in this process since it has been .
