Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The oxidizing and reducing agent in the reaction,

Ca(s)+2H2O(l)Ca(OH)2(aq)+H2(g), is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

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