(a)
Interpretation: The reducing agent in given reaction needs to be identified.
Concept Introduction :
Reducing agent: Reducing agent is a species which reduces other and itself gets oxidized.
The substance which undergoes increase in oxidation number is reducing agent.
(a)
Answer to Problem 76A
Explanation of Solution
The given equation is:
Oxidation number of various atoms is:
Oxidation number of oxygen decreases thus, it undergoes reduction and that of N increases thus, it undergoes oxidation and act as a reducing agent.
Thus,
(b)

(b)
Answer to Problem 76A
Explanation of Solution
The given equation is:
Oxidation number of various atoms is:
Oxidation number of carbon increases thus, it undergoes oxidation and act as a reducing agent.
(c)

(c)
Answer to Problem 76A
Explanation of Solution
The given equation is:
Oxidation number of various atoms is:
Here, oxidation state of Ir increases from 0 to +4, it also decreases from +5 to +4 but that of F remains the same. Thus, Ir is getting oxidized and reduced as well.
From two species Ir is act as a reducing agent.
