OpenStudy (chmvijay):

Al LOL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You sure? why?

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

the metal which gets oxidised is reducing agent in ur case al metal got oxidised to Al+3 sooo

OpenStudy (jfraser):

the reducing agent CAN'T be a product. ever.

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

yaaa LOL it cant be a product

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait which side is the products?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how to figure out this one then?

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

LOL right side of the arrow are products and reactants are left of the arrow

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

can you tell me oxidation of carbon in reactant and product side

OpenStudy (jfraser):

the oxidizing agent is always the reactant that causes the OTHER GUY to be oxidized. oxidation is the LOSS of electrons. Figure out which reactant loses electrons. That's the one that's oxidized. The OTHER reactant is the oxidizing agent. it works the same way for the reducing agent

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

hey its not " other guy" LOL its another element or atom or molecule

OpenStudy (jfraser):

true, but the meaning is the same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so.. CS2 is the oxidizing agent? @chmvijay

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

NOO

OpenStudy (jfraser):

the oxidizing agent CANNOT be a product

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then its C!

OpenStudy (jfraser):

it is the C. the oxidizing agent is the reactant that GETS reduced

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you. what about this one?

OpenStudy (chmvijay):
