is sold as the prescription medication Desoxyn, C10H15N, under-
goes a series of reactions in the body; the net result of these reac-

In a redox reaction, the oxidation number of iron changed from +2 to +3; thus, sulfur is a reducing agent. In a redox reaction, the oxidation number of nitrogen was unchanged; thus, nitrogen is an oxidant. 2. In a redox reaction, the reducing agent is oxidized and it gains electrons. In a redox reaction, the oxidizing agent is reduced and it gains electrons. 3. Bending stress is also known as flexural stress. The test used in observing the mechanical strength of chocolate is the three-point bend test. 4. The flexural strength of materials may be expressed in Pascals.
