Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The species which acts as the oxidizing agent and reducing agent in the reaction, CuO(s)+H2(g)Cu(s)+H2O(l) is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Oxidation is defined as loss of electrons and addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen. Reduction is defined as gain of electrons and removal of oxygen or addition of hydrogen. Oxidizing agent is a substance which causes oxidation in redox reaction. It accepts the transferred electrons. Reducing agent is a substance which causes reduction in redox reaction. It provides the transferred electrons.

Interpretation Introduction
