Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the given reaction, carbon (C) is combining with oxygen (O) to form carbon monoxide (CO). In this process, carbon is donating electrons to oxygen, which means it is being oxidized. The substance that gets oxidized is known as the reducing agent. Therefore, carbon is the reducing agent in this reaction.

In the Reaction C(s)+ O2(g) →\to→ CO2(g)carbon Is __________

In the Reaction C(s)+ O₂(g) $\to$ CO₂(g)carbon Is __________
