Question

What is the reducing agent in the following reaction? 2Na + 2H2O → 2NaOH + H2 H2 NaOH H2O Na

Answer 1

first reaction Na
second reaction H2

Answer 2

3) Na(s) + 2H2O(l) --> 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)

Na(s) --> Na+(aq) + e- ==> Na(s) is oxidized so it is a reducing agent

2H2O(l) + 2e- --> 2OH-(aq) + H2(g) ==> H2O is reduced so it is an oxidizing agent
